Radia is building the world's largest military aircraft, the WindRunner, which has a volume 10 times bigger than in Boeing 777 and the ability to land on unpaved runways. It will be able to carry military radars, satellite systems and other mission-ready cargo. According to the company, the WindRunner will be able to take off and land on a 1,800-meter unpaved runway with its maximum payload. Unlike traditional military development programs (according to Radia's plan) WindRunner will make operational entry 10 years faster than next-generation defense concepts. Its first flight is scheduled for 2030.

U-Force is developing and manufacturing combat training systems using M.I.L.E.S. technology - laser simulation of shooting and damage, which has been used in NATO armies since the 80s. This system allows to significantly improve shooting skills, tactical interaction and coordination of units, and most importantly, reduces the risk of injuries in real combat by 60–70%. The technology is suitable for cadets, instructors, commanders and all personnel, providing training that is as close as possible to real combat conditions.

Frontline produces drone-bomber Linza that is capable of carrying up to 4 kg of payload with a maximum tactical radius of 15 km and staying in the air for up to 60 minutes. The drone is equipped with a visual-inertial navigation module with elements of artificial intelligence of its own design. The system allows to maintain a position over the target at an altitude of up to 200m, stabilize during landing, display the route in Loiter mode. It also enables stable communication and video transmission via dual-band encrypted control system with frequency-shift keying (FFS) resistant to electronic warfare. Thanks to integrated navigation, the platform is easier to control than commercial copters and operates stably in urban areas and difficult terrain.
