Emirati company Arzanah based in Abu Dhabi unveiled two types of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) during the IDEX 2025 exhibition. One of them is already procured by the UAE ministry of defense. These local UUVs illustrate the UAE Navy’s growing interest in cutting-edge underwater technology and the will for local development.”Al Kasir” is a 3 meters-long UUV dedicated for underwater intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). According to the company, it features a modular structure, AI-based autonomous navigation, 50-hour endurance, and integrated EO/IR cameras, Sonar sensors, and Sattelite/RF communication systems. The R&D on the project is still ongoing, however three prototypes were already manufactured and are conducting sea trials in order to make data gathering to train the AI-models. If the company presents it as an ISR system, the spokesperson told Naval News that the exact application remain to be determined.
