The 3rd EW symposium for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the first AOC Electronic Warfare (EW) conference & exhibition to be held in the Kingdom who recognizes the importance of EW and the critical role it plays in operational effectiveness and for national defense.

This event is organized under the patronage of HRH Prince Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, The Crown Prince, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. The event is also supported and endorsed by KACST.

The symposium will take place on 12-13 November at the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) Headquarters in Riyadh, and will cover the “Development of Electronic Warfare for Critical Defense”.

The event has been developed in response to the growth in requirements for EW capabilities and programs and is drawing major global defense companies from around the world, working at the cutting edge of EW technology, including BAE systems and Selex ES.

Conference organizer, Tangent Link Ltd, specializes in international Defense and Aerospace events and targeted networking activities. Working primarily in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, India and beyond, it has developed excellent relationships with key stakeholders in these regions over a number of years which will greatly benefit the participants in this event.

Phil Guy, Managing Director of Tangent Link said: “As a personal long-term supporter of the AOC, and EW practitioner in Australia and the UK, it gives me great pleasure that KACST have asked Tangent Link to support them in bringing this acclaimed series of EW conferences direct to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.”
