emirates7 - Calidus Holding Group is taking part in the Defence & Security 2025 exhibition, held in the Thai capital Bangkok from 10th to 13th November, as part of the United Arab Emirates’ national pavilion.
This participation marks an important milestone in the Group’s series of international engagements, aimed at showcasing its latest integrated defence systems and advanced air and land products. It also seeks to strengthen the presence of UAE‑made defence industries in Asian markets, while expanding opportunities for cooperation and partnership across the regional defence and security sector.
At the show, the Group will showcase a portfolio of its pioneering defence products and technologies designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in the UAE across its three integrated clusters: Aerospace, Land Systems, and Missiles and Defence Systems.
Among the key highlights at the exhibition are the MATV armoured combat support vehicle with the AlHeda missile launch platform, in addition to scaled models of the B-250 light attack aircraft, the B-250T advanced trainer, the Wahash armoured infantry vehicle, the 8x8 LIFV001, the Washag vehicle for reconnaissance missions, border patrols, and the protection of critical infrastructure, the Barq advanced high mobility multiple rocket launcher and the MCAV005 multi-role armoured personal carrier.
This reflects the Group’s commitment to local production, demonstrates the maturity of its research and development capabilities, and highlights the remarkable progress achieved by the UAE defence industries in design, engineering, innovation, and industrial integration.
Commenting on the participation, Dr. Khalifa Murad Alblooshi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Calidus Holding Group, said, "Our presence at Defence & Security 2025 reflects our firm commitment to expanding the reach of UAE defence industries in international markets, and to deepening cooperation with our partners in Asia and beyond.
