Warning Order: MAG Exchange 2026
Monday, June 15th, 2026Direct Action at Eurosatory 2026
Friday, June 12th, 2026
Direct Action® will be present at Eurosatory 2026, taking place on June 15–19, 2026, in Paris, France. The brand willshowcase its latest solutions developed for special operations forces, military personnel, and law enforcement professionals operating in demanding environments.
Eurosatory is one of the world’s leading defense and security exhibitions, bringing together manufacturers, military representatives, and end users from across the globe. For Direct Action®, the event is an opportunity to meet professionals, exchange experience, and present gear developed around real operational requirements.
Experience Based Gear from Poland
Direct Action® is a Polish brand created by professionals for professionals. All equipment is designed and manufactured in Poland, with product development driven by the experienceand requirements of special operations personnel.
The Individual-as-a-System philosophy allows users to build complete equipment configurations tailored to a specific role, mission profile, and operational environment. Plate carriers, belts, pouches, panels, and accessories form a scalable ecosystem that adapts to mission requirements rather than forcing the user to adapt to the gear.
SFU GROM Veterans at the Booth
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet three veterans of Poland’s elite special operations unit SFU GROM: Grzegorz “Zwiru” Urbanski, Amadeusz “Zelazny” Szyszka, and special guest Ziemowit “Harnaz” Urbanowicz.
Ziemowit “Harnaz” Urbanowicz is the creator of the Urban Knife Fighting system. Drawing on years of operational experience and a deep interest in edged-weapon employment, he will share practical insights into close-quarters combat and operating in urban environments.
Zwiru will conduct live Direct Action® gear configuration presentations, demonstrating the logic behind building mission-specific setups for different operational roles and environments. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask questions, exchange experiences, and see the Individual-as-a-System philosophy applied in practice.
Zelazny will share firsthand experience from using Direct Action® equipment during real-world missions, where reliability, accessibility, and control are mission-critical.

SIG SAUER Advanced Defense Systems to Showcase Combat Proven. AI-Powered. Lightweight RCWS Family at Eurosatory 2026
Wednesday, June 10th, 2026
Paris, France June 8, 2026: SIG SAUER Advanced Defense Systems will showcase its lightweight Remote-Controlled Weapon Stations (RCWS) Family at Eurosatory 2026, highlighting how compact, AI-powered remote firepower is evolving to support distributed, multi-domain operations across manned and unmanned platforms
At the SIG SAUER Hall #6 booth #D26, the UltraLight RCWS, the airborne-configured MicroLight RCWS, and the Ranger RCUremote control unit will be on display, demonstrating a modular approach designed to address emerging operational requirements across land, airborne, maritime, and counter-UAS missions
At the center of the display is the latest version of the combat-proven UltraLight RCWS, mounted with next-generation machine guns, including the MMG and NGSW family, thereby offering a complete system set that is the lightest and most lethal available worldwide.
With AI-Powered cueing, the system supports simultaneous tracking of multiple targets in day and night conditions, including threat prioritization to reduce operator workload and accelerate response times in dynamic combat environments. Human operators remain fully responsible for target identification and engagement decisions.
SIG SAUER will also present the airborne-configured MicroLight RCWS, demonstrating how lightweight remote firepower is expanding into unmanned aerial operations. The compact system integrates a stabilized SIG SAUER light machine gun with an unmanned aerial platform, maintaining platform stability and enabling controlled engagement.
Alongside the weapon stations, SIG SAUER will present its Ranger RCU remote control unit, designed to simplify remote weapon operation across multiple operational environments and support safe remote weapon operation via wired or wireless communications. The improved user interface supports the latest features, such as Multiple Point & Shoot™ and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), which uses computer vision algorithms to detect, classify, and track potential threats in real time, including personnel, vehicles, vessels, and low-flying drones.
The systems displayed at Eurosatory reflect broader operational lessons emerging from recent combat environments, where lightweight remote firepower is increasingly required to support mobile, distributed, and rapidly deployable operations. Applications now extend beyond traditional armored vehicles to include unmanned ground systems, maritime security platforms, remote firing positions, and airborne deployments. Visitors to Eurosatory 2026 will be able to view and control the systems and discuss operational applications with representatives from SIG SAUER Advanced Defense Systems.
