Since 1945, when President Roosevelt gifted a DC-3 to King Abdulaziz, Boeing has become an integral part of the Kingdom&#8217;s aerospace fabric. With over 400 defense platforms\u2014including the world&#8217;s largest F-15 fleet outside the US\u2014the focus has shifted toward sustaining these assets through local talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;Family of Systems&#8221; Approach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vince Logsdon introduced Boeing\u2019s &#8220;Family of Systems,&#8221; a strategy where platforms like the&nbsp;<strong>E-7 Wedgetail<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>F-15EX<\/strong>, and the&nbsp;<strong>MQ-28 Ghost Bat<\/strong>&nbsp;work in sync. A highlight of the talk was the MQ-28, an uncrewed collaborative combat aircraft. Logsdon revealed that the MQ-28 has already completed 145 test flights, proving its ability to act as a &#8220;force multiplier&#8221; alongside crewed jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Feature: The Road to Self-Sufficiency<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the roundtable,&nbsp;<strong>Zamil Safwan<\/strong>, Editor-in-Chief of&nbsp;<strong>Saudi ICT Shopper Newspaper<\/strong>, raised a pivotal question regarding the Kingdom&#8217;s goal of defense self-sufficiency under Vision 2030:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zamil Safwan:<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>&#8220;With Saudi Arabia&#8217;s push toward defense self-sufficiency under Vision 2030, can you share a specific milestone Boeing has achieved in technology transfer, local workforce achievement, and what is the next phase of localization beyond assembly and maintenance?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Turbo Sjogren<\/strong>&nbsp;responded by highlighting a major structural milestone: the successful transition of Boeing\u2019s former offset companies (including AEC and Al Salam) to the full oversight of&nbsp;<strong>SAMI<\/strong>&nbsp;(Saudi Arabian Military Industries).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This was a big milestone the Kingdom was looking forward to,&#8221; Sjogren noted. He explained that the next phase involves the&nbsp;<strong>Saudi Rotorcraft Support Center<\/strong>&nbsp;evolving into a broader &#8220;Center of Excellence.&#8221; This shift moves beyond maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) into actual production and specialized aerospace infrastructure, driven by a Saudi-led workforce that Boeing has mentored through decades of internships and apprenticeships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future Horizons: Space and Titanium<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roundtable concluded with insights into the future of the supply chain. Boeing is actively exploring the use of Saudi-grade titanium for global aviation. Asaad AlJomoai confirmed that while the Kingdom excels in titanium &#8220;sponge&#8221; production, Boeing is working with local partners to certify this material for downstream aviation use, potentially making Saudi Arabia a key node in Boeing&#8217;s global supply chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exclusive coverage of the Boeing roundtable at WDS 2026.
