The WDS 2024, held in Saudi Arabia, is a major event that brings together key players from the world of defense and security, ranging from manufacturers of weapons and military equipment to government decision-makers from around the globe. The goal of this show is to promote the latest defense technologies and to facilitate exchanges among the various sector stakeholders. It is in this context that the ARX 25 is presented, illustrating the potential of innovations in improving the operational capabilities of the armed forces.

The ARX 25, with its 25mm cannon, is designed to meet the specific needs of ground combat. Its range exceeds 2500 meters and its firepower, close to that of 30x173mm caliber weapons, gives it an advantageous position on the battlefield. This remote-controlled turret allows for effective and secure use, offering armed forces the ability to respond quickly and accurately to threats.

Choosing the ARX 25 to equip the French army's IFVs underscores the importance placed on the combination of mobility, firepower, and protection. In the current context, where confrontations are characterized by high mobility and the need for immediate response, the ARX 25 offers a suitable solution capable of facing various combat scenarios. Its presence at WDS 2024 highlights the commitment of industrialists and armies in searching for innovative solutions to strengthen the security and efficiency of military operations.

Increasingly, unmanned systems are being developed and can be seen at WDS 2024. Although the ARX 25 is not being presented for the first time at a show, it reminds us that even machine guns are subject to the trend of autonomy and that autonomous systems for this type of equipment have been developed for years, well before the advent of UAVs.

The exhibition of the ARX 25 at WDS 2024 in Saudi Arabia is a striking example of how technological innovation continues to shape the future of defense. WDS 2024, by offering a platform for these innovations, plays a crucial role in sharing knowledge and international collaboration to meet the security challenges of tomorrow.
