The Saudi Ministry of Defense (MoD) and Navantia are still in talks concerning weapon systems and subsystems for the five multi-mission combat ships (MMCS) intended for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF).
In this regard, the MoD has indicated its preferences for such systems, but they remain subject to change, with the possibility of alternative systems being procured through an open tender.
The note provides a comprehensive overview of the following aspects:
- The systems the MoD is interested in
- The foreign defense companies eyed for cooperation
The note also highlights the MoD stance on surface-to-air missiles and the companies that might be competing to secure the deal.
