For the first time India will display defence equipment at an international event, at the International Aerospace and Defence Exhibition (ADEX-2013) exhibition, schedule to be held at Kintex, Seoul, South Korea.

DRDO, along with its production partners will prominently display India's strength and expertise in design, development and production of such items at the expo, where more than 30 countries are expected to participate.

DRDO will be displaying indigenously developed systems, including the 'Akash' air defence system, 'Tejas' light combat aircraft and its variants, expandable high speed aerial target 'Abhyas', airborne early warning and control system (AEW&C), advanced radars, sonars and communication systems among others.

A large number of products developed by DRDO and Indian industry, including those being displayed at ADEX-2013, have immense export potential, an official release said today.
