The General Authority for Military Industries in Saudi Arabia was established in August 2017 to oversee and enhance the military manufacturing sector, aligning with the nation’s Vision 2030 for a thriving economy. This governmental body is pivotal in regulating, developing, and monitoring the performance of military industries in the country. Its mission is to promote local production of military equipment and services by building national capabilities and boosting exports.

The Authority is committed to fostering strategic partnerships across public and private sectors to support the localization of military manufacturing, thereby contributing significantly to the national economy. Priorities include military readiness, strategic independence, transparency, and efficient spending. Through initiatives like the National Military Industries Platform and continuous development of human resources, the Authority aims to strengthen domestic military capabilities and achieve sustainable development in the sector.

By actively engaging with academic institutions and research centers, the Authority ensures the growth of a competent, innovative workforce dedicated to advancing Saudi Arabia’s military industrial sector for future needs.
