Firestar Systems, a Hydra Technologies and Turkish industry joint venture, is showcasing at the World Defense Show from February 4-8, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Key highlights of Firestar Systems’ capabilities to be showcased at the World Defense Show include the Hellhawk Attack UAS, a formidable single use unmanned aerial system with a 30 kg warhead and a remarkable range of 500 km, designed for precision and efficiency in combat. 

Another system on display is the Silent Dagger free-falling munition; a smart, guided, air-dropped munition available in 1 kg, 3 kg, 10 kg, and 30 kg variants, representing a significant leap in tactical precision capabilities. Finally, the SkySting is a 600 g warhead and electric-powered loitering munition system with air and ground launch capabilities.

Additionally, the ASU-45 UAS, a European-manufactured version of the proven S-45 UAS, equipped for ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting) with advanced capabilities including SAR and SIGINT solutions will be on display at WDS.

Powered by Neuralio artificial intelligence, The Bat, for GNSS-denied environments, which has been fully integrated into Firestar’s platforms, is also being exhibited.

The World Defense Show, held over five days, stands as a unique platform for the global defense industry to connect, collaborate, and showcase cutting-edge innovations and capabilities. 

It attracts key defense figures, government officials, decision-makers, and thought leaders, providing an ideal setting for companies like Firestar Systems to highlight their prowess in the defense sector.

Firestar Systems, with its focus on unmanned systems, precision munitions, and AI integration, is poised to reinforce its commitment to enhancing global defense capabilities. The company is excited about the opportunity to engage with international defense leaders at the World Defense Show and explore new avenues for growth and cooperation.
