With a state-of-the-art facility located in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), MKU is playing a pivotal role in supporting the UAE government’s localization initiatives. The facility stands as a testament to the country’s vision of self-reliance in defence manufacturing, enabling local production while maintaining global standards. By manufacturing in the UAE, MKU is not only catering to the regional defence forces but also leveraging the strategic location to export cutting-edge solutions across the Middle East and Africa.

Showcasing its innovative solutions at IDEX 2025

At IDEX, which is currently taking place in Abu Dhabi, MKU has highlighted its most advanced solutions tailored for modern defence and security forces:

  • MW 5000 Sighting System for Crew-served Weapons – An innovative sighting system which delivers one-shot-hit capability to Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers and Large-Calibre Weapon operators. With the combination of thermal weapon sight, reflex sight and laser range finder, it eliminates the range approximation and enhances the efficiency to quickly acquire and neutralise targets over long ranges (1500-2000m) with a single shot. MW 5000 is built to meet the needs of armed forces and law enforcement agencies operating in challenging conditions.
  • Kavro Doma 360 Rifle Helmet – A quantum leap in head protection technology, Kavro Doma 360 is developed using advanced new-gen material. It offers unparalleled protection from high-energy rifle ammunition such as from AK-47 (7.62mm x 39mm MSC), uniformly across all five zones of the helmet shell.
