STX Engine Participates in Saudi Defense Exhibition “WDS 2026” to Target Middle Eastern Market

Presents Integrated Power and Surveillance Solution for Middle Eastern Environments
STX Engine announced that it will participate in the international defense exhibition, “World Defense Show 2026 (WDS 2026),” held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from February 8 to 12, where it will present its integrated power and surveillance defense solutions for land and naval platforms.
Through this show, STX Engine plans to showcase its integrated solution that combines power and surveillance systems to show stable performance even under the harsh operating conditions of the Middle East, such as extreme heat, desert climates, and dust.
Especially, WDS 2026 is closely aligned with Saudi Arabia’s national mid- to long-term development strategy, “Saudi Vision 2030.” The key objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 are localization and self-reliance in the defense industry, and STX Engine aims to show its potential for long-term partnerships with the Middle Eastern market based on its accumulated technical cooperation experience.
During the show, STX Engine focuses on introducing its extensive engine lineup covering from 350 horsepower to 1,350 horsepower, as well as its Powerpack solutions that integrate the engine, transmission, and cooling system. These solutions can be applied to various military platforms, ranging from light tactical vehicles to medium and heavy combat vehicles. The solutions also deliver stable power output and operational efficiency even in the high-temperature conditions of the Middle East.
STX Engine also presents its surveillance and patrol systems, including radar and Towed Array Sonar Systems (TASS). These systems are designed for border surveillance and coastal security missions which are becoming increasingly important in the Middle East. Through these systems, STX Engine demonstrates its integrated defense solutions based on its unrivaled technologies in the maritime and surveillance sectors.
Lee Sang-su, CEO of STX Engine, said, “We plan to expand across the Middle Eastern defense market based on our export performance in Egypt,” and added, “We will take WDS 2026 as an opportunity to further promote our integrated defense solutions and actively meet local demand.”
