Manufacturer catalog
Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) is Pakistan's state-owned defence conglomerate and export-facing manufacturer for a wide public portfolio spanning air, land, naval, NBC, security, industrial, and integrated systems. Its catalog relevance centers on Pakistani UAVs, guided rockets, range-extension kits, and air-launched munitions that GIDS markets or presents through official product pages and international exhibitions.
4 weaponsGIDS presents itself as Pakistan's premier state-owned defence conglomerate, with official pages organizing the portfolio across air, land, sea, NBC defence, security, riot protection, industrial products, and integrated systems. Its contact page places the company at Complex II in Chaklala Garrison, Rawalpindi, while exhibition profiles describe the organization as a large Pakistani state-owned defence producer with long-running indigenous technology-development experience.
For this catalog, GIDS is important because its public product pages tie multiple Pakistani systems to the same export-facing manufacturer: Shahpar-II and Shahpar-III unmanned combat aircraft, the Fatah guided-rocket family, Burq air-to-ground missiles, range-extension kits, air-defence systems, sensors, and naval products. Those links let readers connect Pakistani weapon records that otherwise sit in separate aircraft, artillery, and munition categories.
Recent reporting keeps GIDS in view as an active exhibition and export organization. Arab News covered the Shahpar-III unveiling at IDEAS 2024 in Karachi, while Defensehere's World Defense Show 2026 coverage reported GIDS leadership describing a broader group structure, export customers, missile displays, and an expanded UAV portfolio.
GIDS's official air-products page describes Shahpar-II Block II as a medium-altitude, long-endurance UCAV with armed capability, autonomous flight features, SATCOM, and multiple payload options.

GIDS's official site is product-focused and publishes limited corporate history, so the profile uses official product and contact pages for manufacturer scope and headquarters, public company pages for the founding year, and defense reporting for exhibition and export context.
