GDA – Gulf Defense & Aerospace is a premier, twice-yearly exhibition and conference that gathers industry professionals and business leaders from around the world. Since 2011, each edition has attracted top-tier companies and achieved significant success, covering Defence, Aerospace, Homeland Security, and Safety & Security.

The show blends static and live demonstrations with executive sessions and technical briefings, creating direct business pathways for procurement authorities, primes, OEMs and SMEs. Exhibitors showcase cutting-edge solutions across EW, land/sea/air platforms, UAS, border security, C2/telecom, sensors & optronics, and armoured/logistics vehicles, enabling visitors to assess capabilities on site.

The 6th edition was held under the Official Patronage of H.E. Sheikh Naser Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Kuwait’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, hosting international delegations and facilitating intensive B2B/B2G engagements. GDA thus serves as a bridge between regional security priorities and the global supply chain, accelerating partnerships and procurement outcomes.
