This year, GlobalSys, a recognized leader in secure wireless communication systems, actively participated in the event to present its latest tactical innovations. With a focus on real-world performance, interoperability, and mission-critical reliability, the company highlighted its commitment to advancing tactical communications for modern defense applications. This article offers a comprehensive overview of GlobalSys’ presence at SOFINS 2025 and the groundbreaking solutions showcased during the event.
SOFINS 2025 – a strategic event for the defense industry
As the only exhibition in Europe entirely dedicated to the special forces and their technological ecosystem, SOFINS has become a strategic meeting point for defense professionals. The 2025 edition brought together over 200 companies, including both established defense brands and emerging startups. With a focus on live demonstrations and real-world testing, the event allowed exhibitors to present their products in conditions that mirror the operational realities faced by special forces units.
The Forces Innovation Network Seminar, organized by the French Ministry of Armed Forces, is a key event that brings together experts and industry leaders to explore advanced technologies and innovations in defense.
Key topics at SOFINS 2025 included cybersecurity, unmanned systems, surveillance and reconnaissance tools, and next-generation communication technologies. One of the most critical domains highlighted was tactical communications, especially secure and interoperable systems capable of functioning in remote, high-risk, and hostile environments. The event addresses the operational needs of special forces by showcasing innovative solutions presented by experts in digital defense. Additionally, the latest innovations in ballistic protection, night vision, and imaging technologies were presented as essential tools for enhancing operational efficiency and effectiveness in military environments.
SOFINS is not just an exhibition — it’s a proving ground. It enables solution providers to receive direct feedback from operators and decision-makers, which is invaluable for companies like GlobalSys that place end-user needs at the core of their R&D strategy.
Globalsys solutions in the spotlight
At SOFINS 2025, GlobalSys unveiled a portfolio of advanced tactical communication solutions designed to meet the demands of elite military units. Among the most notable technologies presented:
- Next-generation wireless headsets: Equipped with full-duplex capability, advanced noise reduction, and hands-free operation, these systems integrate seamlessly with helmets, ballistic gear, and other protective equipment. Built for rugged conditions, they ensure crystal-clear communication even in high-noise environments.
- Mission-adaptive communication platforms: These platforms support real-time encrypted transmissions with minimal latency, enabling teams to coordinate efficiently without fear of interception or disruption. The systems are designed to remain operational in degraded environments, such as dense urban zones or remote terrain.
- Interoperability-focused solutions: With defense missions increasingly relying on joint force cooperation, GlobalSys introduced systems that ensure seamless communication across units from different branches—land, air, and naval forces. This interoperability enhances command coherence and mission synchronization.
- Resilient network architectures: The company also demonstrated low-latency, high-security networks engineered to withstand jamming attempts and operate independently of conventional infrastructures—ideal for expeditionary and forward-operating missions.
Attendees are invited to explore the innovations presented by GlobalSys, including cutting-edge solutions in areas such as ballistic protection and night vision.
What differentiates GlobalSys’ technology is not only performance but also ergonomics and configurability. All systems are designed to reduce the cognitive load on operators while maintaining operational efficiency, even during extended missions in challenging environments.
Feedback, engagements, and forward perspectives
The reaction from military professionals and industry experts during SOFINS was overwhelmingly positive. GlobalSys’ systems received praise for their reliability, audio clarity, and ease of integration. Technical demonstrations showcased the full scope of capabilities, from encrypted multi-user communication to rapid deployment configurations for fast-moving units. GlobalSys also conducted brief presentations to demonstrate their innovations during a dedicated session, emphasizing the unique nature of the event and its focus on high-technology solutions.
Beyond the demonstrations, SOFINS was a valuable platform for strategic discussions and partnership opportunities. GlobalSys held a series of meetings with defense organizations, special operations groups, and procurement agencies, providing tailored solutions to special operations forces. These interactions are expected to lead to pilot programs and joint development initiatives in the coming months.
The event also allowed GlobalSys to gather direct feedback from operators—insights that will fuel the next phase of product development. The company reaffirmed its focus on working closely with armed forces to co-develop solutions tailored to their evolving mission needs.
