View attachment 159142
The four-day 8th biennial International Defence Exhibition IDEAS 2014 will start at Karachi Expo Centre today.
An important aspect of IDEAS 2014 will be an international defence seminar today evening. Russia will make its first appearance in the exhibition.
Several high-level meetings between foreign delegates, key government officials and participants have been planned on the sidelines of the exhibition for forging alliances in defence production.
Some of the major indigenously developed products to be showcased include battle tank Al-Khalid, JF-17 Thunder Fighter Aircraft, Armoured Personnel Carriers and missile boats.
IDEAS 2014, being the most strategically important event of the region, will once again bring together all the industry’s players across the globe to showcase the latest technological innovations. The 4-days-show is exclusively for trade visitors and high official defence delegates.
The most volatile geopolitical region of Asia is one of the largest markets for defence products. In a bid to effectively meet the new challenges posed by the transformed regional and global security dynamics, Asia as well as the governments of the neighbouring continent of Africa allocate significant budgets for modernisation and up-gradation programmes of their armed forces.
At the exhibition, Rohde & Schwarz, the electronics group, will showcase a variety of new and established solutions from its different business fields. It will present highlights from its broad product portfolio. According to a press release of Rohde & Schwarz, it will present tried and tested as well as innovative radio communications solutions.
The R&S VCS 4G voice communications system (VCS) ensures flexible and reliable air traffic control (ATC). The fully IP-based system serves as the core component for establishing virtual control centres and features a distributed and redundant architecture. The system meets the requirements of the international EUROCAE ED 137B standard and supports both voice and data applications.
The decentralised system architecture of the R&S VCS-4G provides extremely reliable ground-air and ground-ground communications.
