DSEI 2023 Joint Zone to display latest innovations across multiple domains

Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI), will be held on the 12–15 September this year, at the ExCeL in London.

The key theme of this year’s DSEI is ‘Achieving an Integrated Force’ – referring to multi-domain integration that bridges the gap across silos in defense on all levels of warfare from tactical to strategic.

With the central theme in mind, the Joint Zone is expected to play a pivotal role throughout the tradeshow in demonstrating the possibilities of cross-domain capabilities.

Disruptive innovation such as Internet of Things (IoT) approaches – a system that can connect equipment, tools, and other machinery to the internet, facilitating the automation and monitoring of devices in real time – are expected to be a major highlight of the event.

The Joint Zone is set to host companies not only from the defense sector, but also from broader industry. Motorola Solutions, for example, will be showcasing its IoT ecosystem that can tap into existing equipment and provide a central platform unifying voice, data, video, and analytics.

DSEI will also host many specialist providers of platforms, products, and services. British-based technology and system integration company STS Defence specialize in providing secure communications and electronic systems that can be utilized both in the naval and air domain.

“This year’s DSEI has seen a surge in companies diversifying and devising solutions that transcend traditional domains,” said DSEI Director Grant Burgham. “The Joint Zone stands as a tangible demonstration of the ongoing momentum to break out of domain silos and foster long-term technological progress. It's truly encouraging to witness such widespread engagement, not only from established defense players but also from non-defense companies that are exhibiting at DSEI for the first time.”
