TUSAŞ, Roketsan, Havelsan, MKE, FNSS, Nurol Makina, Canik, SDT, Savronik, CES, and Sarsılmaz will prominently represent Turkiye. Turkiye is set to have the second-largest international representation at the event following Spanish firms.

Western defence giants like Lockheed Martin, Leonardo, General Atomics, Rheinmetall, Airbus, MBDA, and Thales are also expected to showcase their latest technologies. Additionally, firms from India and the UAE, including DUMA and EDGE, will be present.
