Transition Technologies MS participated in World Defense Show 2026, held on 8-12 February in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – one of the most significant global events dedicated to the defense and security sector.
The exhibition confirmed a clear direction of technological development across the industry. Modern defense is increasingly shaped not only by hardware platforms, but by software, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence embedded directly into operational systems.
Among the dominant themes observed during the event were:
- the growing deployment of hybrid VTOL unmanned aerial systems combining operational flexibility with extended range,
- the rapid expansion of virtual and simulation-based training environments using VR and AR technologies,
- deeper integration of AI into command support, fire control and situational awareness systems,
- and the continued evolution of integrated C2 and C4ISR architectures, particularly in the context of counter-UAS and air defense capabilities.
A strong emphasis was also placed on autonomy and cost-effective air defense solutions, reflecting the operational challenges posed by the large-scale use of unmanned platforms in contemporary conflicts.
For TTMS, World Defense Show 2026 provided an opportunity to engage in discussions on AI-driven decision support systems, advanced training platforms, and software layers supporting integrated defense architectures. The event enabled valuable exchanges with international partners and opened new perspectives for cooperation in complex, mission-critical environments.
Participation in WDS 2026 reinforced the view that the future battlefield will be increasingly digital, interconnected and software-defined – and that effective defense transformation requires not only advanced platforms, but intelligent systems integrating data, sensors and operational decision-making.
