Recognising the ever-increasing importance of cyber in the defence mix, BAE Systems will also be showcasing its cyber defence and intelligence capabilities at DefExpo, giving our experts the opportunity to engage with local sector participants and demonstrate our unique set of solutions, systems, experience and processes. These, combined with our Cyber Special forces - some of the most skilled people in the world - enable us to defend against cyber-attacks, fraud and financial crime, enable intelligence-led policing and solve complex data problems.

The Hawk advanced jet trainer will also be at the BAE stands. In May 2015, BAE Systems and HAL signed a memorandum of understanding surrounding the Hawk programme in India. This covered a number of areas for potential future development including an advanced version of Hawk.

BAE Systems has selected Mahindra and Mahindra as its partner for the proposed Assembly, integration and test facility in India for the Ultra-Light Howitzer contract.
