[SALES NEWS] Seoul ADEX 2013, Pameran Alusista Korea
Seoul aerospace exhibition to showcase latest weaponry



SEOUL, Oct. 28 (Yonhap) -- The Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition (ADEX) will open this week to showcase cutting-edge defense and satellite technologies to defense contractors and military officials across the globe, organizers said Monday.

Seoul ADEX will kick off for a six-day run on Tuesday at the Korea International Exhibition Center (Kintex) in Ilsan, just north of Seoul, with 361 exhibitors from 28 countries to provide marketing opportunities for defense contractors and diplomatic venue for military leaders on hand.

During the period, 68 senior military officials and major defense firm CEOs from 45 nations will visit the nation to discuss ways to expand partnership and boost their defense industries.

As South Korea plans to buy 60 advanced jets, global aerospace giants, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing and the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS), will demonstrate their fighter jets and major aircraft during the exhibition.

EADS will demonstrate Eurofighter Typhoon at an outdoor exhibition hall, allowing visitors to get aboard the two-engine fighter jet and wear a "smart helmet" on a simulator.

A team of four German pilots will explain the structure and function of the two-engine multirole fighter, which was proposed to Seoul for the fighter acquisition program, the company said.

Boeing will showcase 737 Max's Advanced Technology Winglet, AH-64E Apache attack helicopter and KC-46A aerial tanker as well as main commercial airplanes, including 747-8 Intercontinental and 787-9 Dreamliner.

Boeing will also feature its F-15 fighter jet with advanced features through an interactive display and simulator to show combat-proven capabilities and its latest avionic system, the company said.

The F-15 Silent Eagle was proposed to South Korea for the 60 fighter jet program but was voted down due to its relatively weak stealth features.

South Korean companies are also set to display indigenous aircraft, combat vehicles and guns to expand their global outreach in the Asia-Pacific.

Korea Aerospace Industries, South Korea's aircraft maker, will present FA-50, a light attack aircraft modified from T-50 supersonic jet, Korean utility helicopter Surion and tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle.

On the sidelines of the fair, Air Force chiefs of nine nations will gather for an international symposium to discuss the aerospace and defense industries in accordance with the changing security environment.

South Korean Air Force chief Sung Il-hwan and Lt. Gen. Jan-Marc Jouas, the 7th Air Force commander and the deputy commander of the U.S. Forces Korea, and industry experts will attend the meeting, the South Korean Air Force said.
