Saudi Arabia’s drive to combine advanced technology and localization to propel growth in the inertial navigation systems market.
The INS market in Saudi Arabia is developing at a very high rate due to strategic defense investment, technological innovation, and international relations that facilitate improvement in the country's navigation system.
One of the prioritized areas for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia remains its modernizing defense structure with increased demand for advanced INS technologies; December 2023: the United States. The State Department agreed on a potential foreign military sale to Saudi Arabia that included the sale of seven Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System, GPS/INS devices, and five L3Harris BlackRock Communications Intelligence Sensor Suites. The latter will be pursued to integrate the newest Saudi capabilities onto the RE-3A Tactical Airborne Surveillance System aircraft to strive to improve defense system advancement through increased navigation. Saudi Arabia aggressively promotes defense technology localization with its Vision 2030. International technology companies are the key players in doing this. For instance, in February 2023, Collins Aerospace announced that it went into a memorandum of understanding with SRB Aerial Systems L.L.C to develop unmanned aerial systems and robotics within the Kingdom. This type of agreement helps leverage Collins Aerospace's strength in UAS integration.
International cooperation is always the engine for growing the Saudi INS market. In March 2022, SANS and Thales signed a commercial cooperation agreement on a maintenance management system. In this regard, SANS's excellence and innovation in the newly developed air navigation services improve the efficiency and reliability of the service provided by the Kingdom to aviation sectors.
This, therefore, adds to the call for sophisticated INS solutions. Honeywell has partnered with Saudia Technic to support Boeing 777 aircraft in the Middle East since November 2023. This partnership seeks to make maintenance, repair, and overhaul services available, which are guaranteed to incorporate navigation systems with the latest installed systems, thus making Saudi Arabia a regional aviation hub.
Such is an example of forming partnerships with the world's leading international defense company. Even in the World Defense Show, which was held in the months of February 2024, Thales gave more importance to the developments taking place within the Kingdom but supplementary to Saudi Vision 2030, such ideas about reductions on dependence on imports as substitutes of foreign technology using local skills and competencies on indigenous manufacturing for the most sophisticated and new navigation types systems.
In summary, INS growth in Saudi Arabia may be driven by strategic defense investments, technological innovation, and robust international cooperation. These enhance the nation's capabilities for defense and commercial navigation and synergistically support more general objectives to diversify and localize.
