In collaboration with Lockheed Martin, these projects fall under the program for localization of the THAAD Weapon System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such projects serve GAMI\u2019s strategy to bolster relations with its international partners from across the globe along the Kingdom\u2019s localization journey, with the ultimate target of localizing more than 50% of expenditure on defense equipment and services by the year 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on this momentous announcement, Gasem Al-Maimani, GAMI Deputy Governor, Military Industry stated that these two localization projects, are in further service of this promising sector\u2019s national priorities. Along this localization journey, and with the robust relations with our international defense partners, air domain defense readiness is expected to be greatly enhanced, said Al-Maimani. He further noted that this project supports investment in building indigenous national capabilities, via empowering new and up-and-coming manufacturing entities, as well as leveraging the integration of efforts with large national companies, to secure their position of prominence globally. Ultimately, all of this facilitation and enablement, pours into achieving the sector\u2019s strategic localization target of more than 50%, and amplifying the scope and impact of existing capabilities, by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629-\u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629-\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f-\u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646-1.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629-\u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629-\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f-\u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629 \u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f \u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646 1\" class=\"wp-image-32340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629-\u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629-\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f-\u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629-\u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629-\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f-\u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629-\u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629-\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f-\u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629-\u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629-\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f-\u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646-1-1080x720.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u064a\u0654\u0629-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629-\u0644\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0639\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0633\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0629-\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0643\u0647\u064a\u062f-\u0645\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0646-1.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor over 50 years, Lockheed Martin has been a committed partner to Saudi Arabia, as the country continues its journey toward ensuring a safe, secure and sustainable future for its people,\u201d said Joseph Rank, chief executive for Lockheed Martin in Saudi Arabia and Africa. \u201cAlong with state-of-the-art defense products and innovative solutions, Lockheed Martin is engaged with its Saudi partners across several capacity building programs that are formulated to contribute to the realization of the country\u2019s development goals.
