DSA 2018 will take place in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) from the 16 to 19 April 2018.


With 30 years of experience in its grasp, this extraordinary event will showcase some of the world’s most sophisticated technologies, hardware and electronic warfare in Land, Air and Sea Defence, Combat Medicine, Homeland Security, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR), UAVs and Combat Robotics.

The upcoming DSA 2018 will be hosted, supported and co-organised by the Ministry of Defence, the Malaysian Armed Forces and the Royal Malaysia Police.

To mark the momentous occasion of 30 years in the defence show industry, we are pleased to announce that DSA 2018 will be held at the brand new Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur!

As one of the Top Five Defence Shows in the world, continually growing and evolving, DSA caters to the needs of tens of thousands of visitors from around the globe providing them with a spectacular experience and unique networking opportunities with industry leaders.

To celebrate our 30 years in the defence show business, we are introducing a new segment on national security for Asia, branded as – National Security Asia 2018 (NATSEC Asia 2018). The debut will take place alongside DSA at the new venue in MITEC, Kuala Lumpur. NATSEC Asia is set to become a truly dedicated national security show which will ride on the well-established DSA platform.

National Security Asia 2018 (NATSEC Asia 2018) is the newly launched international exhibition on national security for Asia by the team of the Defence Services Asia (DSA) series of exhibitions.

NATSEC Asia is set to become a truly dedicated national security show which will be complimented by a High-Level Security Conference. This unique and niche collaboration will surely expand DSA’s portfolio of serving both the defence and security markets for the region. DSA will be one of its kind where everything for the military forces as well as national security forces will be intensely and widely covered within a single venue allowing these sectors to merge and create effective synergies.

Another undeniable unique aspect of this combination is where NATSEC Asia will be able to tap in to DSA’s globally revered VIP delegation management system. There will also be new profiles under the National Security banner which will increase the overall quantity, but more importantly the quality of the delegations delivered during the four days to both events. NATSEC Asia 2018 and DSA 2018 are expected to welcome over 300 VVIPs from 40 regions with more delegations from the National Security sector.
