Future missiles and UAVs for the UAE ground forces

NASEF-90
Ground launched cruise missile produced by Halcon with 90km range, 50kg warhead, and a SALH terminal seeker augmented by GNS/INS. Accuracy is 10 meter with GPS/INS only and 3 meters with SALH seeker.

Shadow 25 and 50 UAVs
The Halcon SHADOW 50 and 25 loitering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) system provides defence forces with a powerful, longrange, high-speed kamikaze munition that delivers precision strike capabilities against fixed targets.

250km range for Shadow 25 with 25kg warhead with speed 200 kmh
120-140km range for Shadow 50 with 50kg warhead with speed at 200 kmh

RW-24
As part of its precision delivery, the RW-24 navigation and flight control system uses a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) which combines GPS, GLONASS, and other satellite-based navigation systems.

The HALCON RW-24 is a fully automated and highly effective unmanned system that is capable of long-range tactical operations. Operating from shallow to near-vertical angles, and with multiple abort options, it enables rapid reactions to threats, coupled with long mission endurance and a large payload capability.

The RW-24 Extended Warhead and RW-24 Extended Range variants increase the payload capacity from 8 kg to 13 kg, enabling the drone to carry additional fuel or to increase the size of the warhead.

The design of the RW-24 is very unique and consists of a single fuselage with two pairs of wings that are connected at the end. The drone is propelled by a single engine with a two-blade propeller. It can fly at a maximum speed of 130 km/h with a maximum range of 100 km. The RW-24 has a launch weight of less than 45 kg and a payload of 8 kg.

The new RW-24 Seeker is equipped with a thermal automatic seeker that enables greater accuracy of engagement of moving targets and increased functionality within GPS-denied environments.

DS25-GLER80, DS-16GLER55, DS-5GLER42

DS25-GLER80 is ground launched rocket delivering a very accurate SALH guided projectile with a 25kg warhead at targets at up to 80km

DS16-GLER55 is ground launched rocket delivering a very accurate SALH guided projectile with a 16kg warhead at targets at up to 55km

DS5-GLER80 is ground launched rocket delivering a very accurate SALH guided projectile with a 25kg warhead at targets at up to 80km

Almost forgot about this one

QX-3 UAV

The QX-3 loitering munition system puts a powerful aerial capability in the hands of infantry and special forces through a 20-kg UAV with a capacity of up to 4 precision-guided munitions, depending on the platform. With onboard video and multiple weapons, the system empowers operators to respond to changing realities in real-time, providing robust support to ground operations.

Transportable by light vehicle and available in both multi-rotor and fixed-wing Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) versions, the QX-3 loitering munitions offer a standoff range of 40 km and an endurance of up to 90 minutes with VTOL version or 40 minutes with a multi-rotor version.

The QX-3 kamikaze drone can be remotely controlled by a single operator using a ground control station, allowing the control of the quadcopter to set the flight path and manage payloads during the flight. The QX-3 can carry a maximum payload of 6 kg in multi-role version and 2.5 to 5 kg in quadcopter configuration.

Fascinating. How would one reconcile all this with UAE's failure in Libya and Yemen costing it billions of dollars by supplying weapons to illegitimate forces that failed on field in Libya and Yemen.
