The DSEI UK Zones structure the show floor to effectively showcase every defence and security domain, fostering collaboration and innovation through exhibits, features, networking, and conference theatres.
Aerospace Zone
The Aerospace Zone at DSEI UK is where innovation in air power takes flight. As military aviation continues to evolve at pace, this zone offers an in-depth look at the technologies shaping the skies of tomorrow.
The Exhibition features everything from next-generation aircraft
and advanced avionics to sensor systems, propulsion technologies, and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as the active participation of the Royal Air Force.
International Pavilions
The Aerospace Zone at DSEI UK is where innovation in air power takes flight. As military aviation continues to evolve at pace, this zone offers an in-depth look at the technologies shaping the skies of tomorrow.
International Pavilions are not just exhibition spaces; they’re hubs of knowledge. At DSEI UK 2025, you’ll find information forums within each pavilion,offering in-depth briefings on each country’s market position, defence strategies,and opportunities for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) collaborations.
Land Zone
For those focused on ground-based operations and land forces, the Land Zone is an essential visit. As one of DSEI UK’s largest and most diverse areas, this zone showcases a broad spectrum of capabilities that support the evolution of land warfare.
With the full backing of the British Army, the Land Zone also emphasises critical aspects such as logistics, soldier modernisation, equipment sustainment, and digitised command and control. From global defence contractors to specialist component suppliers, the exhibitors here represent the very best in integrated land capabilities.
Manfacturing Zone
As the defence sector moves towards greater efficiency, adaptability,
and sustainability, the Manufacturing Zone highlights the processes and technologies making that transformation possible. This area shines a light on additive manufacturing,advanced materials, robotics,supply chain innovation, and modular production systems.
Visitors will see how land modern engineering methods are reducing lead times, improving performance,and enabling more responsive capability development. The zone also showcases the growing importance of digital manufacturing,automation, and eco-friendly production techniques.
Medical Zone
In a world where operational readiness is increasingly defined by the ability to respond to crises quickly and effectively, the Medical Zone is a
small but vital part of the DSEI UK experience. This area focuses on military medicine, field hospital solutions, trauma care,evacuation systems, and medical logistics.
Realistic demonstrations and hands-on exhibits allow visitors to explore the latest in life-saving technologies and treatment systems used in austere and high-risk environments. The Medical Zone also highlights the importance of resilience. It underscores that the human element remains at the heart of operational success.
Naval Zone
The Naval Zone delivers for all interested in maritime security and naval capability. This zone brings together a compelling mix of surface and subsurface vessels, shipbuilding technologies,autonomous maritime platforms, and naval weapons systems.
he presence of the Royal Navy and numerous international navies expected to visit with warships ensures a globally relevant perspective on the future of maritime operations. Visitors can engage with experts across blue-water strategy,coastal surveillance, and littoral defence, as well as explore the tools required to ensure freedom of navigation and deterrence in increasingly contested waters.
Space Zone
As space becomes an increasingly contested and strategically significant domain, the Space Zone at DSEI UK reflects the rising importance of orbital assets to defence and national security.
With contributions from international space agencies,commercial providers, and defence space commands,the zone highlights the pivotal role of space in GPS,missile warning systems,real-time intelligence, and communications. Attendees can engage with space pioneers and explore how resilience, debris mitigation,and domain awareness are shaping tomorrow’s military strategies.
Tech Zone
One of the most high-energy areas of DSEI UK is the Tech Zone, which champions the digital transformation of defence and security. Here, visitors will experience a convergence of disruptive technologies that are revolutionising military operations across all domains.
The Tech Zone is home to ground-breaking solutions in cyber defence, augmented and virtual reality, cloud architecture, and data analytics. Whether it’s understanding how machine learning can support predictive maintenance of defence assets or seeing first-hand how digital twins and virtual training environments can enhance operational preparedness, the zone encourages attendees to rethink what’s possible.
