Advanced Electronics Company (AEC), a Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) company, will participate in the International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2021 as part of the Saudi pavilion, under the slogan of “Invest in Saudi Arabia.” The event, one of the world’s biggest defense exhibitions, is set to take place from Feb. 21-25 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center.
A regional defense and aerospace leader providing world-class services, systems, and solutions in the fields of electronic warfare, C4ISR, electronics and cybersecurity, AEC will showcase its latest military technologies and products at IDEX 2021.

The company will also highlight its flagship cybersecurity solutions such as data diode, security operations center (SOC) and security information and event management (SIEM), as well as its advanced technologies including MADAR, anti-drone system and air observation system (AOS).
Abdul Aziz Al-Duailej, CEO of AEC, said: “With businesses and industries returning to normal operations, we at AEC consider that our participation in IDEX 2021, as part of the Saudi pavilion, will provide us with an excellent opportunity to highlight our innovations in the defense sector to prospective regional and international stakeholders. We are keen on gaining insights into new industry trends and customer needs and exploring new growth opportunities to advance our commitment to supporting the Kingdom to achieve the Vision 2030 goal of 50 percent localization. We look forward to successful participation that will further our efforts to create an ecosystem where AEC will be able to unleash its full potential to enable local talents to manufacture future global technologies locally.”
