Middle East defence budgets exceed $200 billion annually, but spending alone doesn't ensure sovereign capability. Regional mandates aim for local production targets over 50%, yet assembling platforms domestically differs from owning engineering authority, sustainment infrastructure, and supply chain intelligence.​

​

This white paper explores how sustainment and MRO drive localization, with AI-driven operations enhancing readiness. ​

​

Topics include:​

  • Fragility of local assembly without MRO
  • Sustainment's role in engineering depth​
  • Integrated platforms' impact on supply chains and readiness​
