ACK3 at IDEX 2025: innovation for global security

Showcasing innovation and strategic insights from the International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX)

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – The IDEX 2025 edition has reaffirmed its position as one of the most relevant international defense and security exhibitions, showcasing innovations in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, strategic surveillance, and critical infrastructure protection. ACK3 has been present at this event to gain first-hand insight into the trends and technological advancements that will shape the future of global security.

The solutions presented at the exhibition have demonstrated significant progress in coastal surveillance, maritime traffic management, and critical infrastructure protection through the use of phased array radars and software-defined technologies, optimizing real-time detection and analysis. Alongside these innovations, information fusion platforms have taken center stage, enabling the integration of data from multiple sources—such as electronic, acoustic, and geospatial intelligence—facilitating decision-making in complex scenarios.

In the field of cybersecurity, developments have focused on protecting sensitive networks through advanced access control systems and real-time monitoring, with special applications in government and corporate security. ACK3 has assessed the impact of these technologies on critical infrastructure protection, operations, and digital counterintelligence strategies. Artificial intelligence has also been a key theme at the exhibition, with solutions designed to optimize decision-making in military and security environments, including the automation of operational planning and predictive threat analysis.

ACK3 has leveraged its presence at IDEX 2025 to strengthen strategic alliances with various companies and key industry players. In this context, our CEO, Jorge Quintana, held a crucial discussion with Lieutenant General Fernando Ivorra, Director General of Strategy and Innovation for the Defense Industry at the Spanish Ministry of Defense, regarding the protection of Spain’s defense industry and the pursuit of collaborations and synergies with different nations such as the United Arab Emirates.

Additionally, ACK3 has engaged in meetings with different companies to foster cooperation in areas of mutual interest. ACK3 role in economic intelligence provides companies with a platform to establish strategic alliances and develop joint projects that enhance security and drive sector growth. IDEX 2025 has been a key exhibition for strengthening partnerships among participating companies. A notable example is the “PULSE” joint venture between Indra and EDGE Group, focused on the design and manufacturing of radars in Abu Dhabi, marking a milestone in international cooperation in defense technology between the UAE and Spain.

Jorge Quintana, CEO of ACK3, emphasized the importance of these innovations in the industry:

“IDEX 2025 has given us a privileged insight into the technologies that will shape the future of security and defense. The integration of artificial intelligence, advanced cybersecurity, and real-time data analysis is key to anticipating threats and ensuring the protection of critical infrastructure in an increasingly interconnected world.”
