The stand at DSA 2018 showcases the wide range of products and services that the 27 attending Australian defence companies are seeking to export.
Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne, who will visit the DSA show in Malaysia, said attendance at events like DSA is part of the government's plan to support Australian companies looking for defence export opportunities.
"Our Team Defence Australia delegation consists of 27 companies, including small and medium enterprises, a record number for Australian participation at DSA, attesting to the competitiveness and innovative capabilities of Australian defence industry," Minister Pyne said.
"Events such as DSA are a great way for Australian companies to showcase their capabilities, leading to new export opportunities."
Minister Pyne said that the Australian government had dramatically increased the support available for Australian companies to identify and seize new export opportunities.
“The soon to be launched Australian Defence Export Office, an initiative of the Defence Export Strategy, will deliver a suite of new initiatives to help Australian companies become export ready, expand their businesses and achieve export success," he said.
