THIS YEAR, the Defence Services Asia (DSA) exhibition opens against the backdrop of an increasingly complex and contested global geopolitical landscape.

In response, Sapura Defence continues to address emerging challenges by developing and delivering enhanced sovereign defence solutions for both national and international clients.

Sapura Group chief executive officer Tan Sri Shahril Shamsuddin said: “The complexity of the security, cyber and environmental risks we face today is evolving faster than ever, particularly in light of growing concerns around frontier artificial intelligence (AI) threats.

“At Sapura, we recognised early that AI would fundamentally transform how we empower our people, solutions and operations to detect and respond with greater speed and efficiency.”

At this year’s event, Sapura Secured Technologies Group (SSTG) will demonstrate its latest 5G-enabled, AI-driven Government Integrated Radio Network (GIRN 2.0), designed to support Malaysia’s growing requirement for secure, sovereign, network-centric communications.

“GIRN 2.0 enables government agencies to manage national disasters and Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) operations more effectively by unifying responding agencies on a single secure system.

“It provides real-time situational awareness from the field to federal command, enabling faster decision-making, seamless coordination and better protection of lives during crises.”

Alongside SST, Sapura’s Velum Labs will showcase its latest V-Attack platform as part of its expanding national cyber programme, demonstrating the value of integrating sovereign AI into Malaysia’s existing Active Cyber Defence and Resilience capabilities.

“We are delighted to be pushing the boundaries of Malaysia’s rapidly growing cyber market, with our people and solutions receiving recognition both domestically and across our expanding international client portfolio.”
