This exhibition is hosted by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration and Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, and organized by the Defense Agency for Technology and Quality. It is being held at the Changwon Convention Center until the 11th in connection with the '1st Defense Industry Day' (July 8).
