Heléne Bittmann“Saab is proud to participate in Make it in the Emirates 2025, representing the remarkable progress we’ve achieved together with Tawazun Council in developing Emirati advanced defence capabilities within the UAE.

Our Coast Control Radar, developed locally in collaboration with Tawazun Council, is on display at the event, reflecting the culmination of our commitment to innovation and localisation. This next-generation AESA radar solution, developed in Abu Dhabi for dual-use applications, delivers military-grade technology with software-defined capabilities that allows for continuous enhancement and adaptation to evolving coastal security needs. From its discreet, modular design that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure to its advanced signal processing capabilities, the Coast Control Radar represents the innovative spirit that the Make it in the Emirates initiative aims to foster.

We see our participation not just as an opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge technology, but as a celebration of our partnership with Tawazun Council which together continues to strengthen the UAE’s position as a global hub for defence manufacturing excellence”.
