Over the past eighteen months, NeboShchit has participated in several of China's most significant drone and defense exhibitions, bringing our GaN RF power amplifier module portfolio directly to system integrators, security operators, and procurement teams. The conversations at these events have confirmed what the market data already shows: counter-drone capability is moving from a specialized procurement category to a standard infrastructure requirement across airports, energy facilities, border security, and public safety.
This report covers our exhibition presence in 2024-2025 and looks ahead to the international shows we are targeting in 2026.
Airshow China 2024 - Zhuhai
NeboShchit presented its GaN RF module range at Airshow China 2024, engaging defense system integrators and drone countermeasure procurement teams.
The biennial China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai is the region's most significant platform for defense and unmanned systems technology. In November 2024, NeboShchit exhibited alongside manufacturers and integrators from across the counter-UAS supply chain.
The focus of visitor interest at our booth was consistent with the broader exhibition trend: integrators are moving away from single-frequency, single-mode jamming hardware toward wideband modular subsystems that can be embedded into larger detection-and-mitigation architectures. The questions we heard most often were about output power above 50W across the full 380MHz-5.8GHz band, operating temperature range for outdoor fixed installations, and minimum order quantities for pilot deployments.
Our 50W and 100W GaN modules directly addressed each of these requirements. The exhibition also gave us visibility into the procurement timelines of airport authorities and energy infrastructure operators who were in active evaluation cycles - several of whom followed up after the show for technical consultations.
World UAV Congress (UASE) 2025 - Shenzhen
Shenzhen, as the center of China's commercial drone manufacturing ecosystem, is the natural venue for conversations about both drone development and drone defense.
Shenzhen's World UAV Congress sits at the intersection of commercial drone proliferation and low-altitude security - which makes it an unusually rich environment for counter-drone component suppliers. The visitor base includes drone manufacturers, system integrators, local government procurement representatives, and low-altitude economy policy researchers.
The conversation at UASE 2025 was shaped heavily by China's low-altitude economy policy push. The Interim Regulations on the Flight Management of Unmanned Aircraft, in force since January 2024, had by mid-2025 already begun translating into concrete procurement decisions at airports, industrial parks, and municipal authorities. Integrators at the show were looking for RF jamming components that could be brought into compliant end-to-end systems quickly - with a clear preference for suppliers who could support low-MOQ prototype builds before committing to volume orders.
NeboShchit's MOQ=1 policy and our support for custom frequency band configurations generated significant interest from integrators building systems for markets outside China, where frequency allocation and regulatory requirements vary considerably from the domestic standard.
International UAV Application and Defense Conference - Beijing
The Beijing-based International Unmanned Aircraft Application and Defense Conference and Expo is one of the highest-concentration events for counter-drone procurement decision-makers in China. Public security, civil aviation, energy sector, and border defense procurement teams all attend - making it a direct-access channel to the buyer segments most relevant to NeboShchit's module portfolio.
At the 2025 edition, NeboShchit presented alongside system integrators who have incorporated our GaN modules into deployed C-UAS products. The ability to demonstrate real integration cases - not just component specifications - shifted several conversations from general interest to active procurement discussion.
The recurring theme across all three domestic exhibitions: the market has moved. Counter-drone procurement in China is no longer about whether to invest - it is about which technology baseline to commit to, and which suppliers can support the full development-to-deployment cycle reliably.
Looking Ahead: International Exhibitions 2026
Building on our domestic exhibition presence, NeboShchit is planning participation in several international shows in 2026 where C-UAS demand is most concentrated among the buyer segments we serve.
Counter UAS Technology Europe (London) remains the most targeted event for us in the European market. The show brings together NATO-aligned procurement teams, UK and European airport security operators, and critical infrastructure protection buyers - all segments where the post-Ukraine-conflict C-UAS specification shift (wideband coverage, 50W+ continuous output, GaN-based) is actively driving module-level procurement.
XPONENTIAL 2026 in the United States is the largest unmanned systems event in North America. Counter-drone has grown from a side conversation to a headline topic over the past two editions, reflecting the FAA enforcement environment and the passage of the Safer Skies Act. US system integrators sourcing jamming subsystems for airport, event, and critical infrastructure applications are a natural match for NeboShchit's module range.
UMEX / Abu Dhabi and World Defense Show / Riyadh are both on our radar for Middle East engagement. Gulf state energy infrastructure and border security operators have specific requirements around high-temperature operation and long-range coverage - requirements that GaN's thermal efficiency handles better than any competing technology.
NeboShchit's 2026 international exhibition plan targets Europe, North America, and the Middle East - the three regions with the most active C-UAS procurement cycles.
Exhibition participation is one part of how NeboShchit engages with the global counter-drone market. But the conversations that happen after the booth - technical consultations, integration support, custom frequency configuration work - are where the real relationships are built.
If you are sourcing GaN RF power amplifier modules for a C-UAS application and want to discuss specifications before the next show, you do not need to wait.
