Polish defense company MACRO-SYSTEM has unveiled its GNOM loitering munition during live demonstrations at DALO Industry Days and Uncrewed Innovation Day in Denmark.
In a statement, the company said: “During the DALO Industry Days and the Uncrewed Innovation Day demonstrations in Denmark, we had the opportunity to showcase our GNOM loitering munition in action. We demonstrated its key functionalities and operational capabilities in the field, sparking great interest among event participants.”
MACRO-SYSTEM credited its partner Northcom.dk and Glenn Nicolai Frost Møller for support in coordinating the demonstrations, which allowed the firm to engage directly with representatives of European armed forces and defense industry experts.
The GNOM platform, described as a remote-controlled electric vehicle, is compact in size—measuring 550 x 400 millimeters and weighing just 7 kilograms. It is designed to transport and employ the GX-1 DG warhead. The company said its combination of reconnaissance and strike capabilities, low detectability, and ability to adapt camouflage make it an innovative addition to modern combat systems.
According to MACRO-SYSTEM, GNOM is intended to provide armed forces with versatility in complex operational environments, including urban areas, forests, and terrain that is inaccessible to airborne drones. Unlike traditional loitering munitions, the ground-based system can approach targets covertly and attack armored vehicles from below—an angle of attack that many conventional weapons cannot achieve.
One of the vehicle’s defining features is its speed and mobility. With a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour and a control range of 500 meters, GNOM can quickly maneuver toward targets or withdraw from an operation site. The company said this agility provides valuable flexibility in rapidly changing battlefield conditions.
The munition employs video control through an onboard camera, giving operators real-time situational awareness. Depending on the type of GX-1 DG warhead carried, GNOM can perform a variety of missions, from destroying armored vehicles and crews to neutralizing machine gun nests, bunkers, shelters, and other critical infrastructure.
MACRO-SYSTEM also noted its potential role in training, enabling drone operators to practice reconnaissance, observation, guidance, and fire coordination tasks in realistic conditions.
The demonstrations in Denmark marked one of the first international showcases of the GNOM system. Company officials described the event as an opportunity to underline the system’s advantages in mobility, precision, and survivability compared to traditional drone systems.
By combining reconnaissance and strike functions in a small, portable system, GNOM reflects a broader trend toward hybrid unmanned solutions designed for multi-role battlefield tasks. The ability to operate close to the ground and remain less visible to radar or counter-drone systems could provide armed forces with a tactical edge in contested environments.
