Perseus Electronics at DSA 2026

The 19th edition of DSA took place from April 20 to 23 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Perseus Electronics attended with a standalone booth this year, number 6006, which put us on the floor alongside exhibitors and visitors from across the defense and aerospace sector.

DSA runs on a two-year cycle, and the edition that just wrapped marked nearly two decades of the show establishing itself as one of the more substantive defense exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region. The attendee mix reflects that. You get procurement teams, platform engineers, system integrators, and representatives from defense ministries and armed forces across Southeast Asia and further afield. It is not a show where people are browsing. The conversations tend to have a purpose behind them.

We brought three product categories to booth 6006: military-grade cooling fans for airborne platforms, motors, and common hardware components including locking bars and vibration dampers. The product selection was straightforward. These are components that live inside platforms and systems, and the people who make decisions about them tend to be engineers and procurement specialists rather than general audiences. Defense exhibitions are one of the few settings where those two groups are accessible in the same place over a concentrated period of time.

Visitor traffic at the booth came from Malaysia, Turkey, and a range of other countries with delegations present at the show. The defense procurement community in this part of the world is active, and DSA draws a cross-section of it. Inquiries at our booth leaned toward ground communication systems and ground radar platforms, which is consistent with the kinds of programs that are moving in the region right now.

We are not going to overstate what four days at an exhibition produces. Relationships in this industry take time, and the conversations that start at a show like DSA tend to develop over months rather than weeks. What the exhibition does is put you in the room. The follow-up is where the actual work happens.

We are working through the follow-up from the show. If you were at DSA 2026 and spoke with our team, or if you have a requirement related to ground communication systems, radar platforms, or airborne cooling that you would like to discuss, the contact information is on this page.

Perseus Electronics will be watching the calendar for DSA 2028.
