AAV at IMDEX Asia 2025

Changi Exhibition Centre, Singapore

AAV visited IMDEX Asia 2025 to learn about maritime defence technology and the companies building systems for naval and maritime operations.

Members explored booths from international companies and organisations, including ST Engineering, EUROATLAS, Thales, Abu Dhabi Ship Building and Saab Singapore. The team also met Singapore Institute of Technology’s Team MAKO, a human-powered submarine team, and exchanged notes on student maritime engineering.

For AAV, IMDEX helped connect student-built autonomous vehicles with the professional defence and maritime technology sector. It gave members a clearer view of sensors, underwater systems, naval platforms and the level of engineering expected in the field.
