Supported by UAE Armed Forces GHQ and attended by regional government delegations, agencies, industry, military and civilian authorities, the event will be the ideal business platform to promote unmanned systems technology and capability to a dedicated and focused industry audience. IDEX is organised by IDEX LLC (an ADNEC Group Company) in association with the UAE Armed Forces GHQ and will take place at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), United Arab Emirates.
The main focus points of the defence trade fair are: manufacturing and assembly, automotive and naval military units and machinery, autonomous systems, military weapons and munitions, precision guided systems and more.

No other defence exhibition brings together key defence VIPs and high-ranking military officials looking to extend partnerships and contracts with the best the industry has to offer. Unparalleled knowledge transfer opportunities are provided via high-calibre keynote sessions, networking events and conferences, where new technologies and the latest issues are discussed and invaluable partnerships made.
