At booth 346 in Hall 11, Polish unmanned systems are being showcased, including the FlyEye and Warmate 3, as well as solutions that are part of the Gladius reconnaissance-strike system – the FT-5 reconnaissance UAV in the SAR version and the Warmate 5 strike platform.
The exhibition is complemented by ZMU remote weapon stations (in both land and naval versions), as well as WB Group warheads, together with a penetration demonstration block presenting the capabilities of strike systems developed by Polish engineers.
WB Group presented its HEAT warheads and the resulting penetration effects on steel armor. This suggests that, with an appropriate angle of attack, WB Group’s loitering munitions are capable of striking virtually any armored vehicle.
The FlyEye and Warmate systems have been combat-proven in the most demanding conditions. They are used in both low- and high-intensity conflicts. Thanks to close cooperation with users, they are continuously developed and improved.
The Warmate family includes loitering munitions equipped with various types of warheads. The user selects the type of payload during the mission planning phase, in line with the latest NATO standards for strike systems. In Brussels, two versions of Warmate loitering munitions are being presented, adapted for warheads weighing up to 3 kg and up to 10 kg.
Warmate 3 is a light strike system carried by dismounted soldiers, with a range of about 70 km. Launched from a universal launcher, Warmate 5 can engage targets at distances of up to 100 km. Appropriately selected warheads, high-explosive fragmentation, thermobaric, or anti-armor, allow effective engagement of targets detected earlier by reconnaissance platforms or independently during the mission by the loitering munition itself.
At the WB Group booth, the FT-5 SAR unmanned aerial platform was presented for the second time outside Poland (the first time at Enforce Tac 2026). In addition to an observation payload with a daylight camera, thermal imager, and laser rangefinder, the system is also equipped with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The FT-5 SAR enables reconnaissance operations regardless of weather conditions or lighting.
Platforms from the FT-5 family are also available in the standard FT-5 IMINT version, intended for daylight and infrared observation and for artillery targeting of detected objectives, as well as the FT-5 ELINT variant, which can also conduct electromagnetic emissions reconnaissance. This enables the detection of, for example, battlefield radars or enemy artillery radars.

During BEDEX 2026, WB Group is also presenting unmanned solutions intended for the land and maritime domains. These are represented by the ZMU remote weapon stations, which can be integrated with a wide range of armament – machine guns and automatic grenade launchers of 5.56–12.7 mm and 40 mm calibers, 20–30 mm cannons, and guided missiles – on various manned and unmanned platforms.
In Brussels, the ZMU-05 unmanned turret for land platforms and the ZMU-05N, developed for maritime operations, were showcased. In both cases, the modules were armed with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun. Depending on the user’s choice, this may be a weapon of the M2 standard (including the K3 variant or the high-rate-of-fire M3) or the Polish-produced WKM-B (NSW).
