While MASAD’s foundation lies in defense innovation, we firmly believe that technological progress must serve not only the military but also civil society. Our Civil Technologies division is committed to transferring defense-grade innovation into critical sectors such as energy, healthcare, transportation, communications, agriculture, and disaster management. By adapting our advanced research and manufacturing capabilities for civilian applications, we contribute to national development and improve the quality of life for all Sudanese citizens.
From developing rugged communication systems for remote healthcare services to producing energy-efficient power solutions for off-grid communities, MASAD’s civil technologies are designed for resilience, scalability, and sustainability. We also apply our experience in logistics and systems integration to enhance public infrastructure, emergency response systems, and national data security frameworks. These dual-use technologies not only strengthen Sudan’s self-reliance but also build economic resilience through localized production and job creation.
Through public-private partnerships and academic collaboration, MASAD fosters innovation ecosystems that empower local talent and encourage STEM development. Civil technologies are not an afterthought—they are a strategic priority that aligns with our belief: “Our industry is our defense, but peace is our own choice.” As we continue to innovate for the battlefield, we also innovate for the betterment of civilian life—ensuring that peace, development, and progress walk hand in hand.
At Defence Industries System (MASAD), we believe that “our industry is our defense, but peace is our own choice.” Established to strengthen Sudan’s national sovereignty and self-reliance, MASAD plays a pivotal role in supporting the country’s defense capabilities through advanced, strategic, and sustainable industrial solutions.
