The new Belgian barrage ammunition consists entirely of domestic components. At the BEDEX 2026 defense exhibition in Brussels, Belgium presented this kamikaze drone, equipped with an alternative navigation system that does not depend on the availability of a GPS network.
This is reported by the Western edition of NextGen Defense.
The drone's developer is the Belgian defense company ALX Systems. The media claims that the demonstration of the barrage ammunition at the exhibition became one of the central events of the event.

The device is capable of attacking objects at a distance of up to 50 kilometers and can operate autonomously for 35 minutes. This time is enough for operators to search, check and defeat targets within one work cycle.
The drone travels at a speed of 108 kilometers per hour, but is capable of accelerating for a short time if necessary.

The UAV can carry a payload weighing up to two kilograms. Most often, this is a built-in warhead, which is used to defeat equipment, field fortifications and other targets. But instead, the drone can also be equipped with electro-optical sensors. With their help, he will perform reconnaissance, surveillance and reconnaissance tasks.
In February last year, the Belgian government was led by the leader of the right-wing New Flemish Alliance party, Bart de Wever. The leadership that came to power set the task of increasing the potential of the country's Armed Forces.
