Adel M. Bin Sumaih, the company’s executive manager, explained Army Recognition he recently decided to extend the range of the civilian Can-Am 4x4 and 6x6 off-road vehicles he imports and transforms for competition in the desert environment of Saudi Arabia and more generally the Middle East market, on top of standard vehicles.

The most spectacular adaptations unveiled by House of Universal Motorcycle are a 6x6 armed with a Gatling gun, and a 4x4 armed with 4 mock-up short-range air defense missiles intended to shoot down drones and other low-flying aerial targets at up to 3,000 or 5,000 feet. The armament with actual existing missiles is just a matter of the customer's choice. Adel M. Bin Sumaih is convinced that his low-cost but highly efficient solutions ideally match several military needs in the country and the region.
