Polish Company PIAP continues to push the limits of robotics by fielding multi-mission unmanned ground platforms capable of explosive ordnance disposal, reconnaissance, and support in complex urban or battlefield environments. The new systems feature improved mobility, enhanced manipulation arms, and advanced sensor payloads allowing operators to perform high-risk tasks remotely with greater precision and safety. The emphasis this year is on modularity, with robots that can be tailored for different missions ranging from counter-IED operations to tactical surveillance in contested areas.

DIRECT ACTION® brought a contrasting yet complementary innovation by focusing on the human element of warfare. Its philosophy treats the soldier as a fully integrated system rather than an individual burdened with disconnected gear. Every product, from plate carriers and modular backpacks to camouflage uniforms and assault gear, is designed to function seamlessly together, reducing weight while enhancing mission adaptability. This approach ensures that special operations forces remain agile and effective in dynamic combat scenarios where speed, stealth, and endurance are mission critical.

What distinguishes DIRECT ACTION® is its development process rooted in the direct involvement of elite operators. Instead of recycling legacy designs, the company relies on operational feedback, combat testing, and the integration of emerging technologies. The result is a range of equipment that avoids unnecessary complexity, providing only what is essential to maximize soldier survivability and lethality. By combining advanced materials with intuitive design, the company has created a product ecosystem that has quickly gained recognition among international special operations units.

The joint presence of PIAP and DIRECT ACTION® at MSPO underlines the diversity of Poland’s defense sector, which is not only supplying advanced robotics and protective equipment to domestic forces but also positioning itself as a reliable partner for NATO and allied militaries. This synergy between cutting-edge unmanned systems and holistic soldier solutions demonstrates how Polish industry is responding to the changing face of modern conflict, where both technology and the human factor remain decisive.

The Polish defense exhibition MSPO 2025 continues to affirm its position as the leading defense exhibition in Central and Eastern Europe, bringing together global industry leaders, military delegations, and innovators under one roof in Kielce. The event not only showcases the latest advancements in robotics, soldier systems, armored vehicles, and weapon technologies but also serves as a platform for forging strategic partnerships and strengthening regional defense cooperation. With strong participation from NATO members and international defense companies, this year’s edition underscores Poland’s growing influence as both a hub of military innovation and a key contributor to allied security.
