Its naval product portfolio includes corvettes, offshore patrol vessels (OPVs), fast patrol boats, fast interceptor craft, landing craft, rigid-hull inflatable boats, and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), featuring platforms such as the Falaj 3-class offshore patrol vessels, BR71 Mk II corvettes, 510 OPV, 160 Inshore Combat Support Vessels, 120 Fast Interceptor Platforms, and autonomous 170 M-Detector and 120 T-Combatant surface vessels. Its commercial product line encompasses tugboats, crew boats, offshore supply vessels, workboats, landing craft, and cargo barges. In addition to vessel construction, ADSB provides full-lifecycle marine services comprising dry-docking and slipway operations; hull and superstructure fabrication; electrical, mechanical, and propulsion system overhauls; naval architecture and marine engineering design; combat management and weapon systems integration; sensor and communication suite installation; and integrated logistics support (ILS), technical training, and spare parts management. The company serves regional and international naval forces, coast guards, border security authorities, offshore energy operators, and commercial maritime enterprises across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. In recent developments, ADSB has expanded its international export operations, highlighted by a major one-billion-euro contract to build BR71 Mk II corvettes for the Angolan Navy, alongside the ongoing execution of the UAE Navy's Falaj 3-class offshore patrol vessel program. The company has also accelerated its development of autonomous maritime platforms and unmanned surface vessels through strategic technological collaborations, expanded its composite vessel manufacturing capabilities, and modernized its shipyard infrastructure in Abu Dhabi to support regional defense requirements and global export growth.
