The Hawk aircraft is a versatile and advanced military training jet. It is designed to train pilots in air combat maneuvers, ground attacks, and tactical weapons delivery. With its exceptional maneuverability and modern avionics systems, the Hawk is a key asset for enhancing pilot skills and readiness.

The Archer Artillery System, developed by BAE Systems, is a highly mobile and automated artillery system. It features a 155mm/L52 gun mounted on a 6x6 truck chassis, enabling rapid deployment and high mobility.

The Archer system incorporates advanced automation, allowing for quick-firing missions and swift relocation, enhancing artillery effectiveness on the battlefield.

The Sigma Class design and OPV 1800 are naval vessels developed by Damen, a renowned shipbuilding company. The Sigma Class design offers a flexible modular concept, allowing for the construction of various naval platforms, including corvettes, frigates, and offshore patrol vessels (OPVs).

The OPV 1800, specifically, is a versatile and cost-effective vessel designed for maritime surveillance, border protection, and search and rescue missions.

Advanced Protection Systems (APS) showcased their counter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system called SKYctrl. With the increasing use of drones in both military and civilian contexts, SKYctrl provides an effective defense against unauthorized or hostile UAVs.

The system utilizes advanced sensors, detection algorithms, and electronic countermeasures to detect, track, and neutralize potential threats posed by drones.
