The Polish MSPO defense event positions itself as a critical platform for NATO allies and defense industry leaders to converge, particularly against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine, growing regional militarization, and Poland’s aggressive multi-billion-euro rearmament programs.

The Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) has taken center stage with over 400 exhibits and several high-profile product premieres. Among the most significant unveilings is the long-awaited serial production version of the Borsuk Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), now equipped with enhanced modular armor, amphibious capabilities, and advanced situational awareness systems. The Borsuk is joined by a new heavy IFV variant tailored for high-threat environments, as well as the Baobab-K mine-laying vehicle designed to meet the latest battlefield requirements for rapid mobility and area denial.

Beyond tracked armor, Polish industry is also pushing innovation in the support and sustainment domain. Premieres include the SC166 modular ammunition packaging system for NATO 120mm tank rounds, the RAF1 autonomous mobile photovoltaic plant for energy resilience in remote deployments, and the Follow 3D MIMO radar, an AI-driven system optimized for drone detection and low-altitude threat interception. These world-first demonstrations underscore Poland’s expanding role as a source of next-generation battlefield technology rather than merely a buyer of foreign systems.

International participation remains robust, with global defense leaders such as Rheinmetall, BAE Systems, Leonardo, Hanwha, MBDA, and Lockheed Martin all showcasing key programs tied to Poland’s modernization drive. Hanwha has brought the upgraded K9A2 Thunder self-propelled howitzer in a new configuration emphasizing Polish industrial participation. Leonardo’s spotlight moment is the first public mock-up appearance of the AW249 next-generation attack helicopter developed as a successor to the A129 and tailored for NATO digital interoperability and complex air-ground coordination.

Ukrainian defense firms are also making their mark at MSPO 2025, bringing hard-earned battlefield innovation directly from the frontlines. Among the notable entries are loitering munitions adapted for trench warfare, mobile electronic warfare jammers, and counter-battery systems that have proven decisive in the ongoing conflict. Their presence at MSPO reflects both operational credibility and growing partnerships with NATO-aligned industry.

Emerging defense technology players are seizing the spotlight with a focus on production automation, soldier survivability, and infrastructure resilience. EDBAK is debuting robotic machine parks designed for defense-grade manufacturing scalability. General Nano Protection introduces a new line of anti-corrosion coatings for electronics and weapon systems in extreme environments while Goodram Industrial showcases rugged SSDs and memory modules for critical defense applications. D-Fend Solutions’ non-kinetic RF-based counter-UAS platform is also on display representing a shift toward electronic dominance over small UAV threats.

The Polish Ministry of National Defense is using the platform to present its strategic procurement roadmap with new acquisition announcements expected over the course of the show. These include potential contracts for heavy armor platforms, air defense systems, tactical drones, and advanced command-and-control capabilities, all designed to turn Poland into NATO’s most combat-ready land force in Eastern Europe.

MSPO 2025 is no longer just a trade show. As highlighted by Targi Kielce President Andrzej Mochoń, it has become a geopolitical arena where industry strategy meets national defense planning. This year’s edition reflects a clear evolution. Beyond static displays, MSPO now hosts live demonstrations, bilateral defense talks, and operational evaluations, making it a live laboratory for future conflict scenarios and deterrence architecture.
