According to LIG Defense & Aerospace on April 20, the company is taking part in Defence Services Asia 2026, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, through April 23.


DSA is a biennial exhibition specializing in defense and security, hosted by the Malaysian government. It has been one of the region's leading defense industry events for nearly 40 years since its launch in 1988. This marks LIG Defense & Aerospace's third participation in the event.


At this exhibition, the company is showcasing its core guided weapon systems, centered around its multi-layered integrated air defense solution. Exhibits include the medium-range surface-to-air missile system "Cheongung-II," the ship-to-air guided weapon "Haegung," the man-portable surface-to-air missile "Shingung," and the long-range surface-to-air missile "L-SAM."


In addition, the company will present the anti-tank guided weapon "Hyeongung," the "Counter-Battery Radar"—a key piece of equipment for artillery fire response—and the precision-guided air-to-ground weapon "KGGB," further emphasizing its comprehensive defense technology capabilities.


Malaysia is considered a market that is expanding its procurement of weapon systems in line with its strategy to strengthen national defense capabilities. LIG Defense & Aerospace plans to highlight that upgrading air defense capabilities, centered on "Cheongung-II," can significantly contribute to enhancing security.



Hyunsoo Lee, Head of Overseas Business at LIG Defense & Aerospace, stated, "We will actively showcase the advanced technologies and global-level competitiveness we have accumulated over the years," and added, "We will work to expand into overseas markets in response to the strong interest in Korean defense technology."
