The inaugural Naval Defence Exhibition (NAVDEX) dedicated to naval defence and coastal security will run in parallel alongside IDEX 2011. Located at ADNEC’s dedicated marina and quayside, visitors can expect to witness the latest in naval defence technology with exhibits of warships, naval workboats and amphibious crafts, peace and war fighting equipment, anti-piracy and coastal security systems, and communication solutions.
