Sarawat Project: Avante 2200 and Indigenous Combat Management System HAZEM
Tuwaiq Project and Strategic Depth in the Persian Gulf
Conclusion and Future Perspective
The Sarawat and Tuwaiq projects executed by Saudi Arabia for its naval forces represent more than an ordinary arms procurement program; they signify the localization of defense spending and the nationalization of regional maritime security. The training of more than 100 Saudi engineers, the development of the HAZEM combat management system, and the establishment of local integration facilities demonstrate the maturation of the Kingdom's military-industrial complex.
