Pakistan pavilion outshines others at IDEF 2013 in Istanbul

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Pavilion, established in the 11th International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) 2013 being held in Istanbul from May 7-10, is attracting a large number of visitors and prospective buyers. Pakistani stalls are one of the most visible and frequently visited ones.

Leading defence manufacturing companies from Pakistan are participating in the fair. Participating companies include: Pakistan Ordinance Factories (POF), National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM), Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT), Defence Export Promotion Organization (DEPO), Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), Military Vehicles Research & Development Establishemnt (MVRDE), National Radio And Telecommunication Corporation (NTRC), Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS), etc.

Pakistan’s Secretary for Defence Production Lt Gen (r) Shahid Iqbal is leading the Pakistan delegation to the event. The delegation also includes NESCOM Chairman Muhammad Irfan Burney, POF Chairman Lt Gen Muhammad Ahsan Mahmood, HIT Chairman Lt Gen Syed Wajid Hussain, PAC Chairman Air Marshal Sohail Gul Khan, Ambassador of Pakistan to Turkey Muhammad Haroon Shaukat, MVRDE Managing Director Maj Gen Rehan Abdul Baqi, and other high officials.

Members of the Pakistan delegation are holding meetings with their Turkish counterparts and other visiting delegations from the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

Pakistan’s participation in the fair came on the heels of a successful defence exhibition ‘International Defence Exhibition and Seminar’ or IDEAS 2012 it recently organised in Karachi. Pakistan is offering high tech air and ground equipment and hardware for sale, which manifests the country has achieved self-sufficiency in many fields. Pakistan’s defence industry is not only meeting the requirements of its armed forces, but also exporting defence products to many friendly countries. Such export is not only contributing to economic growth, but also trying to maintain a balance between defence spending and national development.

The biennial IDEF fair is held under the auspices and support of the Ministry of National Defence of Turkey and managed by Turkish Armed Forces Foundation, and organised by Tüyap Fairs and Exhibitions Organisation Inc. A total of 800 Turkish and foreign companies and company representatives from 49 countries, as well as ministers and military chiefs from several countries are in attendance at this event.

GIDS – Giving the Best Solution to the Pakistani and Turkish Armed Forces

Global Industrial and Defence Solutions (GIDS), exhibiting at IDEF 2013 at Booth 294A, is making efforts to enhance its export share in Pakistani technological products. The company is primarily focusing on promoting self reliance by means of indigenous technology derived from state-of-the-art machinery, equipment and highly enriched expertise available in various manufacturing units to fulfill the needs of its diversified customer base.

Air Vice Marshal (Ret.) Zubiar Iqbal Malik, Director General, CEO GIDS, explained to IDEF Show Daily that one of the main products available in the market is the SHAHPAR medium range tactical UAS with autonomous take-off and landing. In operational use with the Pakistani Army, the SHAHPAR UAS carries the indigineous ZUMR-I payload for reconnaissance and day & night surveillance.

Another product that the company is focusing on for the export market is the ACMI (Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation) system, designed to be range-less, which can be operated without any restriction in any area. The system records the "Time Space Position Information" (TSPI) of all the aircrafts involved in the training exercises along with their essential parameters onto removable data storage.

GIDS’ main objective is to research, develop and market defence capabilities. The companies under GIDS leadership provide support and service solutions for current and future defence by designing, developing and manufacturing a wide range of electronic systems and subsystems.

“GIDS have access into the Middle Eastern, North African, and the Near Eastern region, with great hopes,” said AVM Malik.

While speaking to IDEF Show Daily, AVM Malik mentioned that Turkey is a very important country for Pakistan, as, “the Turkish defence industry has reached a very high level,” said AVM Malik. He continued to explain that the Pakistani defence industry has reached a very high level as well.

“It is a good idea to have them collaberate, thereby giving the best solution to the Armed Forces of both countries,” AVM Malik stressed.
