WB Group announces the world premiere of GLADIUS II at MSPO 2026

26 June 2026
The International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kielce will host another important premiere for the Polish defence industry. The WB Group announced that during this year's edition of MSPO, it will publicly present the GLADIUS II system for the first time – a new-generation unmanned jet system with reduced radar detectability.

The information was confirmed during the Eurosatory 2026 trade fair in Paris, where the WB Group presented its latest solutions for the modern battlefield.  As Remigiusz Wilk, Communications Director of the WB Group, emphasised, GLADIUS II will be a breakthrough in the development of unmanned systems.

The new system is to feature a much greater range – up to several hundred kilometres – increased speed and limited radar detectability. Importantly, the unmanned aerial vehicle is no longer just a conceptual project.  According to company representatives, the aircraft is currently undergoing flight tests, and the visualisations published so far show the actual aircraft, with some details deliberately hidden.

The WB Group has been one of the most important exhibitors at the International Defence Industry Exhibition for years; in addition to unmanned systems, the company develops digital command-and-control solutions. Its TOPAZ battlefield management system remains one of the most advanced and interoperable systems of its kind in NATO countries, integrating reconnaissance, fire, and unmanned systems into a single operational environment.

The announced world premiere of GLADIUS II will be another example of how the Kielce exhibition remains a place for the debut of technologies that set the direction for the development of modern armed forces.
