One of the standout displays came from AERTEC, a Spanish company specializing in aerospace and defense technologies. They introduced the TARSIS-W, an armed variant of their tactical unmanned aerial vehicle. This version is equipped with FOX-F02 laser-guided micro-missiles, combining reconnaissance and precision strike capabilities in a single platform. The TARSIS-W is tailored for modern combat scenarios where versatility, agility, and accuracy are crucial. With this unveiling, AERTEC reinforces its role as a key player in Spain’s expanding UAV ecosystem.

Another highlight from the show was the French defense group CNIM, which presented two significant systems. The first was its Modular Assault Bridge, a combat engineering solution designed to support rapid maneuverability of forces across difficult terrain. The bridge system enables fast deployment under combat conditions, allowing armored and support vehicles to cross obstacles like rivers or ravines efficiently. Its modular design ensures it can be easily transported and operated in a wide range of tactical situations, aligning with NATO interoperability standards.

Alongside this, CNIM also showcased ROCUS, a modular robotic vehicle system purpose-built for route clearance and explosive ordnance disposal operations. This highly adaptable platform is engineered for autonomous and remote-controlled missions in high-risk areas, significantly improving soldier safety. ROCUS supports multiple mission configurations, such as mine detection, EOD manipulation, and obstacle removal, making it an essential asset for engineering and counter-IED units operating in complex environments.

Spanish company TSD contributed to the exhibition’s focus on mobility and armored protection with its IBERO vehicle family. This comprehensive lineup includes the LTV20 light tactical vehicle, the SMV20 multirole medium platform, and the HTV21 heavy tactical transporter. Each vehicle is designed with a focus on mission flexibility, offering varying levels of protection and mobility suited for patrol, logistics, or command roles. TSD’s IBERO series reflects Spain’s ongoing investment in indigenous defense production and the development of systems tailored for both domestic and export markets.

Overall, Day 3 at FEINDEF 2025 confirmed the event’s role as a major hub for unveiling next-generation defense solutions. From UAVs and bridging systems to robotic platforms and tactical vehicles, exhibitors are demonstrating how innovation is shaping future battlefield capabilities. Army Recognition remains committed to delivering on-the-ground updates and insights throughout the event.
