EADS wins world-record national security contract for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

This contract will be executed over the next five years and is the largest full solution contract ever awarded worldwide. The project has been the subject of strong international  competition for several years.

The Saudi border guard will benefit from a leading edge solution, providing visibility and operational awareness for about 9000km of borderline (mountains, deserts and sea borders). The EADS solution will ensure border coverage is visible and managed at the sector level, whilst simultaneously providing situational awareness at the regional and national level.

EADS Defence & Security has been strongly supported by the Al Rashid group for construction works.

"We are very pleased to have earned the trust and the confidence of the KSA government. We are committed to dedicate all our capacities and capabilities to deliver this program on time and in the quality our customer expects. That includes also long-term investments in the country" declares Stefan Zoller, CEO of EADS Defence & Security.
This division of the European manufacturer is a systems solutions provider for armed forces and civil security worldwide. Its portfolio ranges from sensors and secure networks through missiles to aircraft and UAVs, as well as global security, service and support solutions.
