Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, December 17, 2025 – PD Power Systems exhibited at the annual Global Airports Forum (GAF) held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The GAF is a “world stage for aviation industry leaders.” The event connects the world’s aviation leaders, creating a leading networking event for information, products, services and technology in the aviation industry. More than 10,000 global attendees were estimated to attend the event with over 300 exhibitors representing 100+ countries.
The company’s history with the Royal Saudi Air Force goes back to 2013. As part of one of the largest U.S. foreign military sales in history, PD Power Systems engineered a mission-critical ground power infrastructure for eighty-four (84) brand-new F-15SA fighter aircraft and the upgrade of seventy (70) existing F-15 aircraft to the revolutionary F-15SA specification – the $29.4 billion F-15SA (Saudi Advanced) program.
As an awardee of the largest U.S. Air Force contract, our advanced design of Ground Power Systems provides the electrical backbone that keeps these state-of-the-art fighters mission-ready by supporting cutting-edge avionics including Active Electronically Scanned Array radar, digital fly-by-wire flight controls, and sophisticated electronic warfare suites for every U.S. Air Force aircraft. From flight line operations to maintenance hangars, PD Power Systems’ reliable, precision engineered solutions ensure that both the Royal Saudi Air Force and U.S. Air Force can maintain peak operational readiness of their Advanced Eagle fleets and the anticipated addition of Collaborative Combat Aircraft and MQ-9 drones.
