Saudi Arabia's SRB Aerial Systems and its technology partner Collins Aerospace unveiled the Abqaiq family of long-range unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) at IDEX 2023 in Abu Dhabi.

According to SRB, the UASs have been developed for multidomain operations. Major General (retd) Ahmed Al-Jehani, CEO of SRB, told Janes, “While Abqaiq is a patent-pending family of UAS, the M2DO [variant] can deliver Group 4/5 capabilities in an attritable and long-range Group 3 tactical UAS.”

As shown at IDEX, the Abqaiq M2DO serves as a mother ship carrying two loitering munitions on each wing that can be replaced by other air launched effects, based on mission requirements. The UAS can also be equipped with synthetic aperture radars, maritime radars, and electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensors, among other payloads, for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions.

Speaking to Janes, Mark Roberts, Saudi Arabia country director, Mission Systems, Collins Aerospace said, “Collins Aerospace supports SRB as a technology partner to help SRB achieve success under ‘Saudi Vision 2030'. The joint venture also supports future flight demonstrations.”
