At the IDEF 2025 international defense exhibition in Istanbul, the Turkish company Nero Industries challenged the usual notions of tactical drones by presenting its latest development, the GLD—466 laser-guided drone. This system is positioned as something that can radically change the rules of the game in modern warfare, where drones are becoming an increasingly dominant force.
The GLD-466 is not just another FPV drone or a barrage munition. It is designed for high-speed and, most importantly, high-precision operations, and is equipped with advanced laser guidance technologies. Its key advantage is a unique combination of three factors: affordable cost, reusable capability, and high target acquisition accuracy. In an era when the battlefields are increasingly filled with disposable drones, the idea of a reusable but effective combat vehicle looks especially attractive.
Nero Industries claims that the GLD-466 directly bridges the "gap" between expensive man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) and conventional, often less accurate, guided munitions. This makes it a versatile tool, suitable both for defeating lightly armored vehicles and for delivering pinpoint strikes against fortified positions or enemy manpower.
The presentation of the GLD-466 at IDEF 2025 was a clear indication of the growing role of not only autonomous platforms, but also innovative guidance systems in future conflicts. The Turkish defense industry is once again demonstrating its ability to offer cost-effective and tactically flexible solutions for modern armies.
