In this edition of the World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh, the event solidifies its role as a pivotal platform for Saudi Arabia’s industrial transformation and alignment with Vision 2030, moving beyond a traditional trade fair to a strategic hub for localization and global co-production. High-level engagements and displays highlighted next-generation airpower, including the F-35 and Turkish Aerospace's KAAN, alongside a strong emphasis on unmanned systems, such as Lockheed Martin’s uncrewed turrets and various counter-UAS solutions intended to operate in complex airspaces. The exhibition featured extensive international participation, notably a massive French pavilion and significant contributions from countries like Pakistan and South Korea, all fostering partnerships focused on technology transfer, supply chain integration, and the development of indigenous defense capabilities across air, land, sea, and space domains. Furthermore, the show underscored the convergence of digital and physical warfare, with exhibitors presenting AI-driven decision systems, cyber resilience tools, and advanced sensor technologies as essential components of future readiness and national sovereignty.
