The International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) is the leading event in Poland’s defence sector. The 33rd edition of MSPO, will bring together key partners from the security and defence industries. Among them will be WB GROUP, which will showcase its proprietary solutions in an expanded pavilion — including, for the first time, multi-domain unmanned systems.
MSPO provides a unique opportunity to present advanced unmanned platforms, new systems for the digital battlefield, secure national communications solutions with full cryptographic certification, and other technologies developed by companies within WB GROUP.
In WB GROUP’s expanded pavilion — located in Hall 6 (Stands 6-C04 and 6-C05) — visitors will be introduced to the concept of a multi-domain unmanned revolution. The exhibition will feature next-generation platforms, combat systems for maritime, land, and air applications, and the latest radio communication technologies.
This year’s MSPO will mark the debut of unmanned systems operating across the land, maritime, and aerial domains. WB GROUP will present, for the first time, combat and multi-role surface platforms, as well as the concept of the Future Task Force (FTF) — a combined manned-unmanned platoon.
The aerial domain has been expanded with new variants of the WARMATE TL system, launched from a container. These include the WARMATE TL-R reconnaissance version, already in service with the Polish Armed Forces, and the WARMATE TL-C strike variant, debuting in Kielce. The latter, like all WB GROUP loitering munition systems, is equipped with an interchangeable warhead compliant with the latest NATO standards.
For the first time, the specialised FT-5 platform family will be presented together. This includes the FT-5 IMINT, designed for visual and infrared surveillance; the FT-5 SAR, equipped with a synthetic aperture radar; and the FT-5 ELINT, optimised for electronic intelligence missions.
As part of its reconnaissance-strike capability development, larger WARMATE-family unmanned platforms will also debut in Kielce. These include systems with heavier warheads and a cost-effective variant for retransmission and reconnaissance in high-risk environments, where deploying specialised platforms would not be justified.
In the land domain, WB GROUP will showcase its manned-unmanned Future Task Force (FTF) platoon concept. These lightweight, mobile ground platforms are integrated with aerial unmanned systems and additional strike assets. Together, they form a coherent and interoperable tactical module with significant firepower, mobility, and deep-reconnaissance capability.
The FTF consists of a command vehicle and three manned-unmanned combat vehicles. All are equipped with WB GROUP systems: WARMATE TL launchers, ZMU-05 remote-controlled weapon stations with machine guns and optional anti-tank guided missiles, as well as mine dispensers.
All FTF components are integrated via a national, low-emission encrypted communication system. This system operates through signal retransmission by unmanned aerial systems, fibre optics, and MESH networks — ensuring interoperability and security in full compliance with NATO standards.
The FTF can be seamlessly integrated into conventional military structures, such as mechanised or motorised battalions. The addition of FTF vehicles significantly enhances situational awareness and precision engagement capabilities.
The walking robotic platform G@RDO will also make its debut at MSPO. Comparable systems are increasingly employed in military, security, and law enforcement operations. Their mobility, versatility, and sensor integration make them valuable assets for both armed forces and public service units.
In the maritime domain, unmanned platforms developed by WB GROUP companies RADMOR and AREX will attract particular attention. The multi-role StormRider and the strike SK@RP — a naval loitering munition system — provide new operational capabilities in coastal and port environments.
The new ZMU-05N remote weapon station will also be unveiled. Developed by AREX, this naval version of the ZMU-05 turret has been specifically adapted for maritime conditions and reinforced with additional protection. Like its land-based counterpart, the ZMU-05N is armed with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun.
All WB GROUP communication and command systems are based on national cryptographic mechanisms. As Jarosław Czajka, Director for Unmanned Systems, emphasises: “This ensures information sovereignty and operational security for users.”
The WB pavilion will also host open panel discussions with military, academic, and industry experts. Topics will include national security, the future of autonomous systems, and the transformation of defence structures in response to emerging threats.
WB GROUP comprises over 20 high-tech companies specialising in advanced defence and security systems. Since its founding, the Group has pursued a philosophy of developing proprietary technologies. These original designs allow full control over production — regardless of scale — while eliminating export restrictions and other development barriers.
WB GROUP also actively collaborates with other defence-sector companies — including the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) — as well as with partners outside the industry: academic institutions, research centres, and universities. This cooperation fosters synergy and enables the integration of competencies at the intersection of science and industry.
