IDEX 2025 Showcases AI-Powered Defence Innovations

The International Defence Exhibition (IDEX) 2025 showcased groundbreaking AI-driven military technologies designed to enhance targeting precision, communication efficiency, and battlefield awareness. Defence companies introduced advanced systems leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-time data processing to equip armed forces with smarter, more efficient tools.

Genasys unveiled LRAD, a next-generation long-range audible device capable of transmitting voice commands up to 5,000 metres. With AI-driven environmental analysis, LRAD optimises sound transmission and identifies targets, ensuring clear communication even in challenging conditions. Widely used in naval operations, it integrates with Ethernet networks for remote control and smart connectivity, making it a valuable asset for modern defence forces.

Global Industrial Defence Solutions (GIDS) presented cutting-edge long-range defence solutions, including air-launched cruise missiles with a 290-kilometre range and a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) capable of striking targets with pinpoint accuracy at 140 kilometres. The company is advancing naval cruise missile technology with AI-powered topographic mapping for precision targeting in maritime operations. GIDS also introduced the “Shahpar-III” drone, equipped with AI for enhanced targeting and combat data analysis. Capable of flying at 35,000 feet, it can carry a 500-kilogram payload, including up to eight weapons. AI-powered loitering munitions were another highlight, featuring drones that process real-time data to identify and track moving targets such as soldiers and armoured vehicles. These smart drones use advanced optics to distinguish between friend and foe, detect potential threats, and execute high-precision strikes with minimal collateral damage.

CONTROP Precision Technologies Ltd showcased AI-driven electro-optical and precision motion control systems for surveillance, defence, paramilitary, and homeland security applications. These systems provide high-resolution imagery in all lighting conditions, ensuring precise target identification and tracking while compensating for harsh weather. By integrating AI analytics, they enhance situational awareness and improve military decision-making.

IDEX 2025 reinforced the growing impact of artificial intelligence in modern warfare, highlighting the critical role of AI-powered defence solutions in strengthening military capabilities, improving response times, and ensuring mission success.
