Arab Organization for Industrialization Weapon Systems

Arab Organization for Industrialization is Egypt's state-owned defense-industrial organization, and in this catalog it anchors the Sakr rocket-artillery family produced by its affiliated factories.

1 weapon systems

The Arab Organization for Industrialization was created in 1975 as a multinational Arab industrial project and later became fully controlled by Egypt. Public sources and the organization's official site show it as a broad state-owned industrial group with defense production at its core and civilian work alongside it.

For this archive, AOI matters because the Sakr factory affiliation connects the organization to the cataloged Egyptian 122 mm multiple rocket launcher lineage represented here by the Sakr-6 entry.
