JADARA Equipment & Defence Systems Co PSC stands as a testament to Jordan’s burgeoning capabilities in the military-industrial sector. As a leading entity in the development, production, and sale of short and medium-range anti-tank systems, JADARA has positioned itself at the forefront of military technology. The company’s expertise extends to Opto-Electronic, Night Vision, and Thermal sighting systems, designed for a variety of military applications. Central to its operations are its Research and Development Design Bureau, test laboratories, and manufacturing complex, which collectively drive innovation in defence technology.
JADARA’s rise to prominence began with the introduction of the “Nashshab” grenade launcher system. This initial success earned the company global recognition and established its reputation for advanced military solutions. The RPG 32 “Nashshab” was first adopted by the Jordanian Army before gaining traction in international markets. The launch of this product marked a significant milestone for JADARA, setting the stage for future advancements.
On May 30, 2013, a pivotal moment in JADARA’s history occurred when His Majesty King Abdullah II inaugurated the company’s production facility dedicated to the “Nashshab.” This event underscored the strategic importance of JADARA’s contributions to national defence and highlighted the company’s growing capabilities.
Building on the success of the “Nashshab,” JADARA ventured into the development of more advanced systems. To address the diverse demands of modern warfare, particularly in terms of firepower and operator safety, Jadara has developed the QUAD-TERMINATOR system for medium-range guided missiles. This versatile system can be mounted on various military vehicles, enhancing the flexibility and mobility of combat units in the field. The QUAD-TERMINATOR enables detection, tracking, and engagement of targets using the Terminator Missile, with options for both Anti-Tank (T-AT) and Anti-Helicopter (T-HE) variants depending on the target type.
A key feature of the QUAD-TERMINATOR system is its ability to allow the operating crew to fire missiles either from within the safety of the military vehicle or from a distance of up to 300 meters. This capability ensures that the crew can remain protected from enemy fire while engaging targets. Additionally, the system includes a 7.62 mm machine gun for added versatility.
It’s also worth noting that the RPG-32 “Nashshab” system includes two QUAD variants: the RPG-32 QUAD-1 (stationary) and the RPG-32 QUAD-2 (vehicle-mounted). These systems, developed by Jadara, offer the ability to fire one, two, or four rounds simultaneously at a single target, significantly increasing fire density and effectiveness.
The JADARA-Terminator, a medium-range anti-tank rocket complex, integrates sophisticated Opto-Electronic sighting and laser guidance technology, marking a new era of precision and effectiveness in anti-tank warfare. It reinforced Jadara’s position as a regional leader in anti-tank systems and marked a pivotal milestone as it demonstrated Jadara’s leadership in the defence industry within the region. This success also reaffirmed one of the company’s core objectives: to localize defense industrial technology within Jordan, utilizing exclusively Jordanian capabilities and expertise. The Twin JADARA-Terminator and the Quad JADARA-Terminator mobile combat modules have been developed based on the JADARA-Terminator.
Jadara has significantly expanded its product line to include a variety of sophisticated aiming and sighting devices, including the 1P81 and GS-2R models equipped with Laser Range Finders (LRF), mechanical aiming devices, and night vision attachments NV/A-1 and NV/A-2. These innovations mark a major advancement in Opto-Electronic technology and underscore Jordan’s growing influence in this critical field.
From the beginning, Jadara has been committed to achieving exceptional target accuracy, a goal reliant on cutting-edge optical vision systems. To support this, the company has established a state-of-the-art Optical-Electronics Factory, dedicated to producing advanced optical sights and laser guidance systems that ensure precise targeting.
Initially, Jadara developed optical sights without laser range finders, which limited accuracy due to imprecise distance measurements. The company has since progressed to creating sophisticated electronic optical sights with integrated laser range finders. This upgrade has significantly improved targeting precision, highlighting Jadara’s capability to deliver high-performance electronic optical sights that meet the demanding requirements of modern missile systems.Top of Form

Jadara has developed a wholly locally-made national product under the name “RAPTOR.” This advanced missile system comes in two variants: the “RAPTOR-3” with a caliber of 103.6 mm and the “RAPTOR-7” with a caliber of 107 mm. Both models are equipped with sophisticated day and night sights, reflecting the company’s commitment to excellence.
A substantial effort has been invested in perfecting these missiles, which boast a range of at least 500 meters. Designed for Anti-Tank, Anti-Fortification, and Anti-Personnel applications, the RAPTOR series meets advanced international specifications. The successful completion of rigorous laboratory and field tests underscores Jadara’s growing regional and international reputation, highlighting the company’s capability to produce world-class defense technology.
In addition to its focus on anti-tank systems and sighting technology, JADARA also produces UAVs. The UAVs “SHAHEEN” are versatile platforms equipped with laser-guided missiles, designed to fulfill a range of critical functions. These multi-functional UAVs excel in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), target engagement, electronic warfare, artillery fire correction, and target laser designation, among other roles. Their advanced capabilities make them invaluable assets for modern military operations.
JADARA Equipment & Defence Systems Co PSC exemplifies Jordan’s strategic focus on advancing military technology and defence capabilities. From its pioneering “Nashshab” grenade launcher to its cutting-edge JADARA-Terminator systems, the company continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in defence technology. With a robust R&D infrastructure and a commitment to innovation, JADARA is well-positioned to remain at the forefront of the global defence industry
