Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI), a PIF company, has announced its participation in the International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2025 under the Saudi Pavilion led and organized by the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI).
The exhibition is scheduled to take place from February 17 to 21 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center (ADNEC) in UAE.
The Saudi Pavilion will bring together leading Saudi government agencies and companies specialized in the field of military industries, where SAMI will showcase its latest products across its various divisions.
According to the press release, key exhibits will feature SAMI Land’s upgraded SAMI Light Armored Tactical Vehicle (SLTV) with new and improved specifications, and ROAYA, the Remote Turret—both cutting-edge products designed and built entirely in Saudi Arabia.
SAMI AEC will showcase its innovations in command, control, communications, and intelligence (C4I) systems, alongside other advanced systems and products.
As Saudi Arabia’s leading national defense partner, SAMI’s presence at IDEX 2025 underscores its commitment to supporting Vision 2030’s goal of localizing 50 percent of the Kingdom’s defense spending.
“Through its participation, SAMI highlights the remarkable growth and transformation within the Kingdom’s defense sector, fostering innovation, empowering national talent, and strengthening Saudi Arabia’s position on the global stage,” according to the release.
Earlier this month, SAMI signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with South Korea’s Kia Corporation in order to build military vehicles. The agreement aims to strengthen the competencies of SAMI Land Systems, which focuses on building national industrial capabilities, to build light tactical vehicles through collaboration, research, and development.
