CDR Magazine at DEFSEC 2025

The 2025 DEFSEC Atlantic show was another major networking success for the aerospace, defence and security industries. During the tradeshow on October 1-2 at the Halifax Convention Centre, Halifax, Nova Scotia, the CDR team was on the show floor capturing highlights— covering major announcements and latest updates from DEFSEC sponsors.

DEFSEC, presented by the Atlantic Canada Aerospace & Defence Association (ACADA), is one of Canada’s premiere Aerospace, Defence, Security and Marine exhibitions. This year was the 19th edition of the show, now the second largest event of its kind in Canada.

Focused on showcasing Atlantic Canadian opportunities, the show’s worldwide reach creates partnership potential for all attendees.
