AWP secures $5M Anti-drone Contract with Major Middle Eastern Armored Vehicle Giant
2025-03-22 21:53
Anti-drone equipment manufacturer AWP recently announced a cooperation agreement with a large Middle Eastern armored vehicle company, with the contract value reaching $5 million.This collaboration marks AWP's further expansion in the global defense market and reflects the growing demand for anti-drone technologies in the Middle East.
At the 2025 Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition (IDEX 2025), AWP, as a leading Chinese anti-drone enterprise, participated in the exhibition and garnered widespread attention and recognition from various Middle Eastern countries, laying a solid foundation for this cooperation.
During the signing ceremony, a representative from AWP stated: "Traditional anti-drone technologies, such as VCO, mainly relies on power suppression, which increases energy consumption and reduces device efficiency. Additionally, as drones enhance their anti-jamming capabilities (e.g., frequency hopping technology and MIMO antennas), the effectiveness of simple technical approaches like VCO has significantly declined. Through continuous R&D, AWP has introduced SDR technology, breaking this impasse. This allows for more precise and effective interference with drones' imaging, control, and satellite links, while also reducing overall power consumption and significantly increasing effectiveness. Furthermore, the system can be remotely upgraded to counter continuously evolving drone technologies."
The Middle Eastern armored vehicle company also expressed high recognition of the cooperation. A spokesperson stated: "We are increasingly aware of the necessity of anti-drone measures in global battlefields. Our armored vehicles must possess stronger comprehensive defense capabilities. AWP's countermeasure systems will greatly enhance the battlefield adaptability of our products, providing customers with safer and more reliable solutions."
In recent years, global demand for anti-drone solutions has become increasingly urgent. According to statistics, in the Ukrainian battlefield alone, the number of monthly drone attacks has exceeded 3,000, while drone attack incidents in the Middle East and Africa have increased by over 40%. In December 2024, opposition forces launched a surprise attack on Syrian government troops using drones, nearly causing the collapse of the government's defense lines. The initial neglect of drone technology by the Syrian government forces is considered a significant reason for their defeat. Currently, countries in Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa have generally recognized the necessity of anti-drone technologies.
Under the agreement, AWP will provide a series of anti-drone solutions to the Middle Eastern armored vehicle manufacturer, including advanced electronic jamming systems and integrated defense equipment. These systems will be installed on armored vehicles to enhance their defensive capabilities in modern battlefields, particularly against drone threats.
This cooperation not only helps improve the anti-drone capabilities of Middle Eastern armored vehicles but also promotes AWP's further layout in the international market. In the future, the two parties may explore broader cooperation possibilities to address increasingly complex global security challenges.
