Developed by Al Qahhar Aerospace, this advanced EFI VTOL platform is purpose-engineered for the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces, Border Guard, and Coast Guard. It provides unmatched operational flexibility across the Kingdom's demanding environments — enabling seamless protection of vital Red Sea and Arabian Gulf shipping lanes, offshore energy assets, and territorial waters while supporting search-and-rescue and domain awareness missions.
By extending the reach of the Kingdom's defenders from secure onshore or shipboard positions, the AQ-100 SE enhances operator safety, mission endurance, and real-time situational awareness — all rooted in homegrown innovation aligned with Saudi Vision 2030's priorities of technological sovereignty, defense localization, and maritime security.
A compelling step toward defense self-reliance — scalable, investable, with strong potential for local production, knowledge transfer, Saudization, and regional export value.
AQ-100 SE — EFI ISR Platform is a next-generation Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) powered Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system, purpose-engineered for demanding surveillance missions across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Designed for the Saudi Armed Forces, Border Guard, and Coast Guard, it combines efficient EFI propulsion with true VTOL capability — rapid, runway-independent launch and recovery from naval vessels, small craft, coastal outposts, desert forward operating bases, or forward maritime positions.
This compact platform delivers extended endurance and persistent coverage over Saudi Arabia's Red Sea & Arabian Gulf territorial waters, Exclusive Economic Zone, shipping corridors, critical offshore energy infrastructure, and vast northern & southern borders — while maintaining a low logistical footprint ideally suited to the Kingdom's extreme desert, high-temperature, and high-altitude conditions.
Perfect for Red Sea & Arabian Gulf maritime surveillance, northern & southern border security, and critical infrastructure & energy sector protection across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Advanced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) delivers precise air-fuel metering and superior combustion efficiency — superior performance in high-temperature, dusty, and high-altitude Saudi environments. Lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions, and truly reliable operations across the Kingdom's demanding terrain.
Up to 3 hours continuous flight — persistent coverage across wide-area Saudi operational theaters.
Vertical launch from confined naval decks, desert FOBs, or small vessels — no runway required.
Autonomous Data Processing with Alerts — automated detection, anomaly identification, and real-time operator notifications.
Secure datalink for reliable, encrypted communications across extended operational ranges.
Optional fully autonomous missions with advanced AI navigation — pre-programmed routes with real-time adaptive response.
3–6 kg day/night cameras & multi-spectral sensors for diverse mission profiles.
EFI propulsion engineered for high-temperature, dusty, and high-altitude Saudi conditions — reliable where others fail.
Intuitive systems designed for rapid crew qualification — reducing time-to-deploy and training costs.
Targeting 30–40 high-value technical and engineering roles within the next 12–18 months, directly supporting Saudization goals and Saudi Vision 2030 human-capital development.
Focused on generating and registering IP locally in the Kingdom — strengthening Saudi Arabia's knowledge economy, reducing external dependencies, and building long-term sovereign value.
Reducing reliance on external defense systems — aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 for self-reliance, defense localization (target >50% of military procurement spend by 2030), and regional stability.
We actively pursue grants, co-development with GAMI & SAMI, offset programs, and non-dilutive funding to accelerate localization and technology transfer in the Kingdom.
AQ-100 SE — where national pride meets sovereign capability.
Al Qahhar Aerospace invites qualified stakeholders, GAMI-registered partners, and Vision 2030 co-investors to explore collaboration opportunities.
