From 8–12 February 2026, SHIBLI participated in World Defense Show (WDS) 2026 in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, joining leading defense stakeholders and industry partners on one of the region’s most important platforms for multi-domain defense and security. WDS brings together decision-makers, end users, and solution providers to explore modernization priorities across surveillance, protection, and operational enablement in real-world environments.
At WDS 2026, SHIBLI demonstrated an integrated portfolio built around a simple objective: enable faster detection, clearer confirmation, and more reliable field operations through interoperable systems. Across the event, our team hosted continuous walkthroughs and solution conversations, focusing on deployment contexts such as border security, fixed-site protection, and critical infrastructure monitoring. The showcase emphasized layered architectures and operator workflows rather than isolated components, reflecting SHIBLI’s ongoing evolution toward integrated defense solutions.
What SHIBLI Demonstrated at WDS 2026
SHIBLI’s exhibit spotlighted core capabilities and flagship systems aligned with current operational requirements:
- FALCON, SHIBLI’s flagship thermal optics platform, highlighted for field surveillance and situational awareness applications.
- GUARDIAN (uncooled) and GUARDIAN PRO (cooled) border surveillance cameras, positioned for persistent perimeter monitoring, wide-area coverage, and fixed-site security contexts.
- Long-range radar systems and Radar–EO configurations, demonstrated as a detection and tracking layer designed to integrate with EO/IR for confirmation and continuous monitoring.
- CETUS UAV, presented under SHIBLI’s unmanned capability direction as part of evolving mission and operational support scenarios.
Global Engagement and Delegation Visits
WDS 2026 enabled SHIBLI to coordinate engagements with stakeholders from Saudi Arabia (KSA) and international markets including Pakistan, Morocco, Oman, Vietnam, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. The SHIBLI exhibit also hosted visits from Saudi armed delegations, along with senior-level engagement including the Moroccan Defense Minister’s visit and Pakistani delegation presence.
Looking Ahead
SHIBLI thanks all visitors who engaged with our team during WDS 2026. Building on the momentum from the exhibition, we are continuing structured follow-up with stakeholders met during the show to progress next-step coordination and collaboration pathways discussed on-ground.
