What this topic covers

Aerostat and persistent surveillance programs in the Gulf and Egypt, covering tethered aerostats, airborne early warning aircraft and long-range radars used for border, coastal and critical infrastructure surveillance, and the suppliers competing for these programs.

Aerostat-based ISR and long-range surveillance has become a critical layer of Gulf air-defense and energy-infrastructure protection during the war.

This topic page tracks UAE and Qatar tactical aerostat programs covering border, coastal and critical infrastructure surveillance, Egypt's Saab GlobalEye procurement to replace the aging E-2C Hawkeye 2000 fleet, the Hensoldt TRML-4D radar talks for the Egyptian Air Force, and Egypt-Thales SMART-L EWC negotiations via AOI.

A focused intelligence resource for ISR primes, sensor manufacturers and tethered-aerostat suppliers.
