DSEI 2025: ST Engineering kicks off export drive for new Bronco 3
The original Bronco was developed to meet the requirements of the Singapore Army and subsequently built in large numbers and many configurations.
NVK Iskra (a subsidiary of Ukroboronexport) has successfully completed testing export models of its 90K6E 3D mobile surveillance radar.
Two days of tests confirmed the ability of 90K6E to detect UAVs at low, medium and high altitudes for a variety of ranges, using its circular surveillance radar and transistor transmitter.
Yuri Pashchenko, director of the Iskra Scientific and Production Complex, said: ‘The positive results of these tests open to us the undeniable prospects of 90K6E to be exported. We already have a potential customer from one of the countries in the Middle East, for which the ability to determine UAVs is one of the basic requirements.’
The 90k6E radar was first unveiled in 2019 and is designed for use by anti-aircraft missile units. During testing, the radar was able to identify a Raybird 3 small tactical UAV which reached an altitude of 3000m and a speed of 160km/h.

On the show floor at DSEI 2025, representatives from ST Engineering and ARIS, and retired Italian general Ivan Caruso outlined the background to the teaming agreement with land warfare expert Christopher F Foss.
The company is investing in increasing production while major subcontractors also push to keep up with demand, with Sweden’s recent Request for Information potentially adding another 500 to the order book.
At DSEI 2025, Controp representatives outline how artificial intelligence is being integrated with electro-optical payloads to improve decision-making and operational efficiency across land, air, and maritime domains.
Infrared imaging manufacturer SCD outlines its approach to enhancing visibility for defence forces operating in complex environments.
The mobility trials saw the Challenger 3 main battle tank (MBT) tested at a variety of locations in the UK, covering a combined 760km across a variety of terrains including road and cross country.
