Shipyard of Special Facilies at the Defense, Aerospace and Security Exhibition

ASDA, the international tri service Defence, Aerospace and Security exhibition, will be held for the eighth time in Croatia and for the first time in Zagreb, from April 8 to 10, 2025.

This is the largest defense and security fair in Southern Europe and the largest exhibition of military equipment and weaponry in this region, which has become a traditional event and is now part of the international calendar of military exhibitions.

During the three-day event, visitors will have the opportunity to visit the booths of Croatian military equipment manufacturers, as well as booths of some of the world’s largest defense companies. Shipyard of Special Facilies Ltd. will also showcase its products and achievements at its own exhibition space.

Shipyard will present its navy program, particularly projects related to the Offshore Patrol Vessel-Corvette OPV-C BIS91, the Fast Attack Patrol Vessel FAV250, and the Coastal Patrol Vessels CPV-31 “Omiš” and CPV-32 “Umag,” which were built for the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Croatia for the needs of the Croatian Naval Forces’ Coast Guard. These vessels play a key role in protecting internal maritime waters and in conducting combat and logistics missions.

The growing demand for modern coastal and combat vessels creates opportunities for the involvement of Shipyard of Special Facilies in strengthening European defense capabilities. Our shipyard possesses top-tier infrastructure, highly skilled experts, and close collaboration with scientific institutions in Croatia. This enables us to design and build advanced warships, including submarines.

Exhibitors will include companies such as Lockheed Martin, Dassault Aviation, Thales, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, KNDS, Kongsberg, Baykar, Saab, L3Harris, MBDA, Aselsan, Šestan Busch, HS Produkt, Čateks, and Insig2, all of which will present their latest technologies and defense portfolios.
