The 10th China (Beijing) Military Intelligent Technology Expo opened in Beijing on Thursday, highlighting some of the country's cutting-edge unmanned military intelligent equipment.
The three-day expo features over 500 high-tech companies showcasing their new products and technologies in the fields such as military communications, simulation training and command systems.
"Our company has introduced a new multi-intelligent system built on a domestically produced independent base platform. This system can integrate new equipment, especially various unmanned equipment, into our military combat system. Notably, the AI large model for equipment maintenance allows soldiers to quickly learn not only how to operate the equipment but also master its maintenance and upkeep," said Ji Yaohua, an exhibitor.
Another highlight at the expo is a space mission analysis and design software, known as the Space Mission Toolbox ATK, introduced by the National University of Defense Technology. The software has significant applications in various space missions, including manned space flights, deep space exploration, and communication and navigation.
"We have just launched version 3.5 of the ATK software, which covers essential functions such as industrial-grade space mission analysis, orbit analysis, orbit design, space mission scenario modeling, and both two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization for design software," said Xiao Yao, another exhibitor. 。 The expo is being held alongside the 13th China Conference on Command and Control and featuring over 10 forums on topics like emergency command and communication, unmanned command and control, and low-altitude safety.

The Iranian government is focusing on public concerns and maintaining stable supplies of essential goods amid recent protests, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a televised interview on Sunday.
In the city of Karaj, northwest of the capital Tehran, daily life has largely continued as normal. A video filmed by a local resident on Sunday shows food stores open and grocery shelves fully stocked.
"This is the block near my home, and there are some food stores here. Daily life continues here. Last night we did not see many protests in Karaj. Right now the city is very safe. This is a grocery store close to my home. All the food is available; nothing is in shortage. Here are noodles and different types of beans. Here are dairy products, cheese, and yogurt. I also checked other grocery stores and didn't see any shortages. Everything is available," said local resident Ali Reza.
Iranian officials have described recent disturbances as acts orchestrated by the "enemy," including some carried out by well-trained and armed "terrorists." The incidents have caused casualties among security personnel and civilians, as well as property damage.
The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani has directed authorities to severely punish the "terrorists."
Meanwhile, Iran's police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan said on Sunday that the police had raised alert levels and arrested several leaders of the troublemakers during the operations on Saturday.
President Pezeshkian noted in the interview that the normal demands of the Iranian people are reasonable and justified, but they must realize that triggering riots and carrying out terrorist acts are the enemy's attempts to undermine the country. He urged the public to remain vigilant.
Also on Sunday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that Tehran would regard U.S. and Israeli bases and facilities in the Middle East as "legitimate targets" if Washington takes military action against Iran. His remarks followed media reports saying U.S. President Donald Trump is "seriously considering authorizing a strike" against Iran.
Iranian state media reported that at least 109 members of Iran's security forces have been killed in clashes since the protests began 14 days ago. Meanwhile, human rights groups based outside the country said the number of protesters killed has exceeded 200, though the figure could not be independently verified.
The protests initially erupted over a sharp depreciation of the rial and sweeping subsidy reforms. Iranian authorities have blamed the unrest on foreign-linked agents and sanctions imposed by the United States.
