The 17 edition of the record-breaking Dubai Airshow will take place at DWC, Dubai Airshow Site from November 14 to 18, 2021.​

This airshow offers vital networking opportunities for aviation professionals as well as a chance to see an exhibition of cutting edge technologies used in the aviation industry. The event will be the only airshow of its kind to take place in a live format, highlighting Dubai’s leading response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the world-class safety measures implemented in the emirate.

Features of the Dubai Airshow:​

• Pre-registered visitors, delegates, speakers and exhibitors can search, connect and book meetings with key contacts at the function;
• The famous static park and flying display which can be easily viewed by visitors and exhibitors;
• Soundproofed and air-conditioned glass domes can be booked throughout the show for private meetings;
• An opportunity to meet with like-minded people, discuss important topics and stimulate connections and introduction through facilitated networking;
• Conference programs, crowdsourcing, guided tours, demonstrations etc. of various topics like cybersecurity, sustainability, 5G technology and more;
• The event offers an extensive range of advertising and sponsorship options to elevate your brand and boost your business opportunities;
• An east-west startup hub called VISTA has been started as a part of the airshow. This will give startups access to mentorship programs and a chance to meet with vital decision-makers and globally ranked investors to launch, grow and scale their startups.

Dubai Airshow is looking to launch a new advisory board in collaboration with the Defense Services Marketing Council (DSMC), which will not only serve the occasion but the regional industry in general. The social highlight of the event, the Dubai Airshow Gala will be held on November 17, 2021, at the Coca-Cola Arena.

Came across this on Linkedin, never seen a product from them that has landing gear before so this is very interesting.

We will see if it is a mini UCAV like the Seeker 400 or TB2 or a UAV but ideally they would make a platform that can launch their missiles.

Denel Dynamics employees involved with the Seeker 400 work at Halcon so there is a chance it could be a copy of the system.

It should be shown at the Dubai Airshow in a week so we will get a lot more information soon.

This may be a new UAV from a UAE company that resembles the TB2 I think a bit.

2 other new UAVs below

The most interesting of all is this missile that resembles the SCALP/Storm Shadow a bit. This may be a cruise missile from Halcon.

What are these,''conceptional designs''?
Nothing more?

What are these,''conceptional designs''?
Nothing more?

It's more likely they are under development and will be shown at the Dubai airshow tommorow.

You would be suprised what you can accomplish with enough funds and South Africans.

There is also a pic of the Calidus B-350 that I will post here.

Dubai Airshow 2021: Missile defence radar takes centre stage in EDGE-Raytheon MoU​

Raytheon Emirates and EDGE will cooperate to deliver a UAE-tailored Early Warning Radar System with localised sustainment, training, manufacturing and R&D.

EDGE on 15 November announced it has signed an MoU with Raytheon Emirates to ‘explore strategic partnership opportunities across several critical defence programmes’.

For example, the two parties committed themselves to develop hardware and technology in the UAE to support the Raytheon-made Early Warning Radar System (EWRS) for missile defence.
This is part of continuing efforts in the UAE to enhance its indigenous radar capabilities and is subject to end-user operational requirements, EDGE noted during the Dubai Airshow on 14-18 November.
Raytheon Emirates and EDGE will therefore cooperate to deliver a UAE-tailored EWRS with localised sustainment, training, manufacturing and R&D.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, Raytheon has experience in producing and delivering an EWRAS for Qatar. The technology is capable of operating as one layer in a broader air and missile defence system, alongside other systems such as Patriot, GhostEye and the AN/TPY-2 radar.
