Similar to Saudi Arabia’s chief defense conglomerates SAMI and GAMI, MIDWI will be the main pillar of Bahrain’s nascent military industries, enabling homegrown defense systems and achieving military self-sufficiency. Equally important to MIDWI is to keep up with the regional defense companies, Emirati EDGE Group and Qatari Barzan Holdings, building a robust defense industry. MIDWI assumes responsibility for all military procurements, arms deals, and defense programs in the nation. Emphasizing collaboration, MIDWI aims to form partnerships with foreign defense entities and establish joint ventures (JVs) prioritizing technology transfer (ToT). Our 858-word (3 pages) company profile offers an in-depth examination of MIDWI's strategy, objectives, leadership structure, potential partnerships, and forthcoming projects, providing valuable insights into its operations and aspirations.

Soaring through the skies since the 1950s, the B-52 Stratofortress is a U.S. Air Force (USAF) workhorse and an enduring symbol of American military might. The eight-engine behemoth boasts unique capabilities unmatched by any other American warplane – which is why, after more than 70 years of service, it continues to play a vital role in nation’s defense and national security strategy. And thanks to a collaboration between L3Harris and the USAF, this iconic aircraft is poised to remain mission-ready against highly sophisticated, emerging threats for decades to come. Under a 10-year, $947 million contract awarded in 2021, L3Harris is upgrading and enhancing the AN/ALQ-172 electronic warfare (EW) self-protection system, which protects the B-52 and aircrews from a wide range of electronic threats. L3Harris current work builds on decades of experience providing critical technology as the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the AN/ALQ-172 systems for the B-52 fleet. And combined with other modernization efforts underway, our upgrades will extend the B-52’s relevance and reliability through the 2050s. The USAF plans to conduct a test flight with the B-52’s new EW capabilities in 2024. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gEJyimEd

The Devil will absolutely be in the details, but having a Major Command dedicated to cyber/ISR/Info Warfare is a long needed step by the USAF in my opinion. The USAF isn't giving details, so it isn't clear if the new MAJCOM will have just cyber and Air Combat Command will retain ISR and info warfare or if it will encorporate all three. Location for the new HQ will be a massive fight also. 16th AF is in San Antonio, but should the MAJCOM move there? The Army have always had their key cyber organizations based in the National Capital Region. Should the Air Force do the same? Thoughts anyone? #usairforce
