The WB Group presented fresh solutions in air, land and sea domains during the XXXIV MSPO. Among more than a twelve prime ministers, the most crucial are the GLADIUS 2 and WARMATE 8X impact systems, the fresh FLYEYE functionality – X-LiftAir, the advanced mobility truck Hyperion, the distant ZMU-30 weapon module, and the unmanned StormRider 550.
The global Defence manufacture Exhibition is the most crucial event of the Polish defence sector and 1 of the largest specified projects in Europe. This year, the XXXIV edition will take place from 8 to 11 September 2026. The WB Group, the largest private entity of the Polish defence industry, presented a wide scope of solutions for modern armed forces in Kielce.
In the immense pavilion in Hall 6, you can learn about advanced land, sea and air unmanned systems, tactical communication equipment, combat field management software and artificial intelligence, solutions designed to defend your own troops and critical infrastructure.
A presentation of news on Prime Minister's Day took place in the presence of Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka, Secretary of State in the MON, Michał Baranowski, Deputy Minister of improvement and Technology and Pleiades of another invited guests from the industrial and military sectors.
One of the most crucial events was the premiere of the fresh GLADIUS 2 impact system. The WARMATE 30 effector with replaceable 30 kg battleheads was developed in a wing-flying plan strategy with turbojet drive. GLADIUS 2, ordered in 2026 by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, is intended to service for the precise demolition of very crucial targets at long distances.
GLADIUS 2 stands out for reduced radar and thermal detection. The usage of turbojet drive allows you to accomplish the specified area of operation very quickly. The drone may take off from the container or ground launcher. WARMATE 30 is integrated into the GLADIUS exploratory and impact system.
Another shock strategy shown in Kielce was WARMATE 8X. It's an ammunition circulating with a cross-system of steering surfaces, ensuring advanced maneuverability in the terminal flight phase. The drone is equipped with interchangeable 8 kg warheads. WARMATE 8X is characterized by advanced precision hits in attacks at large angles.
The X-LIFTAIR – an alternate launch method for unmanned systems weighing up to 30 kg was presented for the first time. He was first demonstrated on FLYEYE. Unmanned air systems are carried out at the appropriate height, reducing the usage of the energy of its batteries and prolonging the duration of operation. For FLYEYE it increases from more than 4 to six hours of engine operation.
On MSPO 2026 besides debuted the STAR 8×8 Hyperion truck. This is simply a platform based on proven technology, created by the strategical partnership of many Polish producers. Hyperion 8×8 is simply a consequence to the request of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, and its improvement allowed the national manufacture to gain fresh capabilities for flexible and timely completion of orders for the military. The truck will be offered in various varieties, including armored and non-armoured cabins.
In the land domain, in addition to fresh manned and unmanned FTF platoon vehicles – Antares and Sirius, tiny robotic platforms of the UGV families and distant ZMU-30 weaponry module were besides shown. The unmanned tower can be equipped with a 30 mm caliber cannon, optionally besides in a 7.62-mm device weapon or 40-mm device grenade launcher.
The low weight of the module allows for its integration with light wheeled and track vehicles, floating units and autonomous container platforms. ZMU-30 is equipped with optoelectronic systems, weapon stabilization and automatic mark tracking function. It can combat ground targets and low-flying air objects, including unmanned aircraft.
An unmanned StormRider 550 water strategy will besides be released. It is simply a new, measuring 5.5 m long modular unit belonging to the StormRider household developed by the WB Group. Smaller and shorter than the StormRider 850 model presented last year can be designed for military and civilian users – to defend critical infrastructure facilities.
The solutions presented during the MSPO show the consistent improvement of multi-domain environment of unmanned systems group WB. It combines recognition, command, safe data exchange and burn, providing the user with full control of the decision cycle. The systems are based on the competence of Polish engineers and the proprietary technologies developed by the WB Group.
