WB GROUP once again participated in the SOFEX 2026 defence exhibition. In Jordan, the company presented Polish unmanned reconnaissance and strike systems, solutions for border and critical infrastructure protection, and a range of warheads. The WB GROUP stand was visited by representatives of the Jordanian Royal Family, the armed forces and defence institutions.
WB GROUP was among the exhibitors at the Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference (SOFEX), held in Aqaba from 27 to 29 October. The company’s stand attracted considerable interest, with visitors including representatives of Jordan’s key institutions.
On the first day of the exhibition, the WB GROUP stand was visited by Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein and Major General Majdi Al-Harasis, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian Armed Forces. Other guests included Brigadier General Mohammad Al-Yamani, Director of the Joint Operations Directorate, and Brigadier General Shadi Al-Khashashneh, Director of the Planning and Organisation Directorate.
WB GROUP’s portfolio was also presented to Brigadier Mohammad Daradka, Director of the Special Communications Directorate. Visitors to the stand in Aqaba also included Lieutenant Colonel Alaa Al-Adwan and Major Mohammad Al-Kafawin from the Unmanned Aerial Systems Data Integration Centre, as well as Mohammad Batran, Director General of the state-owned Jordan Design and Development Bureau (JODDB).
Polish unmanned systems, which have been operated by a wide range of users for 15 years, attracted particular interest at SOFEX. The capabilities of these Polish-developed solutions have been proven in combat, including in Ukraine, where they operate in an environment characterised by intensive electronic warfare.
At SOFEX, WB GROUP showcased its unmanned aerial reconnaissance systems, including the FT-5 in a hybrid-propulsion configuration equipped with an electro-optical payload. The platform is also available in variants fitted with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and electronic intelligence (ELINT) payloads. Also on display was the significantly smaller FLYEYE, a best-in-class, hand-launched tactical unmanned aerial system with a very low logistics footprint.
The unmanned systems portfolio was complemented by the WARMATE family of loitering munitions and a broad range of warheads, including multipurpose high-explosive fragmentation, anti-armour and thermobaric variants. Strike and reconnaissance configurations can be combined into highly effective reconnaissance-and-strike solutions such as FLYMATE and GLADIUS.
Another solution presented at SOFEX was AMSTA, a system designed for the monitoring and protection of borders, facilities and critical infrastructure. It is based on a network of perimeter seismic sensors which, together with other sensors and unmanned reconnaissance systems, can form an effective protective barrier around strategically important installations.
SOFEX is one of the Middle East’s leading defence industry events, bringing together representatives of armed forces, security institutions and defence manufacturers from around the world.
