FN Herstal is delighted to announce its participation in IDEX 2025, from 17 to 21 February in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Join us at the Belgian Pavilion (Hall 8-B17) to discover how our innovative solutions redefine operational excellence for armed forces worldwide.
What awaits you at our stand
FN Herstal will showcase a wide selection of our cutting-edge products, spanning ammunition, handguns, less lethal solutions, machine guns, submachine guns and integrated weapon systems for air, land and sea applications, including remote weapon stations. Each category represents our commitment to unmatched performance, reliability, and adaptability in diverse operational scenarios.
At the heart of this year’s presentation is FN® e-novation, our suite of high-tech designed to enhance the dismounted soldier’s capabilities by providing the maximum advantage of the firearms.
FN SmartCore®
Fully integrated into FN Herstal weapons, FN SmartCore® technology provides a comprehensive overview of weapon usage by collecting real metrics throughout the weapon’s lifecycle. It discriminates between live and blank firing, measures both cyclic and effective firing rates for machine guns, and can also be adapted for use with non-FN weapons. FN SmartCore® integrates seamlessly with the FN® Smart Armoury, which combines the shot counter technology with RFID capabilities and the powerful FN® SAM software. This fully integrated solution provides a global approach to weapon and accessory management, helping defence forces transition into the digital era. Tailored to customer needs, it ensures optimal efficiency and control over weapon fleet operations, offering unparalleled support for maintenance and logistics.
FN Elity®
The FN Elity® is a compact, all-in-one ballistic calculator designed to fit any squad or sniper weapon, regardless of calibre, as well as spotting scopes. It combines cutting-edge technology to deliver unparalleled precision and tactical advantage.
Compact yet powerful, the FN Elity®
enhances first-hit probability at long range, providing a decisive tactical edge to warfighters and security forces.
FN® FCU Mk3
The FN® FCU Mk3 Fire Control Unit delivers an advanced aiming solution for 40mm LV and MV grenade launchers, enabling first-round hits in all conditions, day or night.
Compatible with rifles and carbines like the FN SCAR® and stand-alone launchers like the FN40GL®-S, the FN® FCU Mk3 dramatically enhances the hit probability of 40mm grenade systems.
These systems exemplify our drive to empower military professionals with tools that enhance decision-making and operational efficiency. Our experts will be on-site to guide you through our solutions and discuss how FN Herstal can support your defence needs.
Looking forward to seeing you in Abu Dhabi.
