Dubai, UAE, October 15, 2024 – Intelligent Security Systems (ISS), a pioneer and leader in the field of intelligent video management, has officially signed a strategic partnership with Advanced Electronics Company (AEC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Arabia Military Industries (SAMI) and an acknowledged forerunner in the design, manufacture, sales and repair of diverse Electronics and ICT products and systems. This agreement marks the beginning of a new chapter in the export of ISS SecurOS® Under-Vehicle Surveillance Systems (UVSS) manufacturing to AEC’s state-of-the-art facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The signing ceremony between the two companies was signed on the floor of GITEX GLOBAL 2024 by Ziad bin Houmod Al-Musallam, Chief Executive Officer of SAMI-AEC, and Richard Burns, Chairman of ISS.
This partnership advances world-class product development by combining both companies’ expertise. Under this agreement, AEC will handle assembly and integration of the SecurOS® UVSS, using its production capabilities to meet the demand for advanced security systems in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East market.
Ziad bin Houmod Al-Musallam stated, “This collaboration will elevate local manufacturing within our facilities and support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by fostering innovation and advancing industries. It will not only meet the growing public and private demand for UVSS in Saudi Arabia but also pave the way for export opportunities throughout the GCC and beyond.”
Richard Burns added: “We are thrilled to share our American expertise in the manufacturing of our market- leading under-vehicle surveillance systems with AEC, our local partner in Saudi Arabia. Together, our teams will collaborate closely to seamlessly transfer our manufacturing knowledge and capabilities to AEC’s facilities, ensuring that they are fully equipped to meet the unique needs of the region. By combining our advanced technology with AEC’s local insights, we aim to deliver superior product that meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.”
The SecurOS®-UVSS has become the under-vehicle surveillance system of choice in the “third wave” of advanced security solutions sweeping through the Middle East. The system, which is patent protected, has been a major improvement over prior legacy technologies in terms of effectiveness, speed and ease of implementation. Notably, the ISS system was chosen to protect all 8 stadiums of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. It has also been adopted by ZATCA (the Saudi tax and customs authority), KAPSARC, the Alsalam Royal Palace in Jeddah, and critical military and civilian installations throughout the Middle East.
