Caracal International honours martyr
Caracal International, part of Emirates Defence Industries Company (EDIC), recently announced the “Sultan Rifle” in honour of the martyr Sultan Mohamed Bin Huweidan Al Ketbi. The martyr bravely passed away in the line of duty while taking part in the Arab Coalition’s Operation “Restoring Hope in Yemen”.
The Sultan Rifle was manufactured by one of the best designing teams of professionals and international experts in the field of assault rifles. The Armed Forces was contracted to supply more than 80,000 rifles under the name of CAR816. This rifle was displayed with the same specifications by the new title with the addition of an engraved logo of the name “Sultan”.
The Martyr Colonel Sultan Mohamed Bin Huwiedan Al Ketbi, was the highest military rank to participate in the military operations in Yemen and Caracal’s decision to name one of its rifles after him is an honour.
The CAR 816 is a centre-fire, gas operated, and rotating bolt system assault rifle, chambered in NATO 5.56 x 45. It is an assault rifle designed for the high-end use of law enforcement and military applications. The weapon is available in semi-automatic and select fire configurations.
EDIC is the region’s premier integrated national defence services and manufacturing platform, providing world-class facilities, technology and support services. The company brings together the combined capabilities of the UAE’s defence industries into a single integrated platform to enhance value for clients, shareholders, partners and other stakeholders.
Once fully integrated, EDIC will comprise companies across the manufacturing, autonomous systems, mapping, maintenance, repair and overhaul, communications, logistics and technology development sectors. EDIC was established in 2014 from the integration of assets owned by Mubadala Development Company, Tawazun Holding and Emirates Advanced Investments Group.
