Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) is Pakistan's state-owned defence conglomerate and export-facing product umbrella for air, land, naval, NBC, and integrated systems.

4 weapons

Global Industrial & Defence Solutions (GIDS) is the public-facing defence conglomerate that groups a broad set of Pakistani military product lines under one export brand. Its official site presents the company as state-owned and organizes the portfolio across air, land, naval, NBC, security, and integrated systems.

GIDS connects several Pakistani precision-weapon and aerospace product lines that otherwise sit in separate categories: guided rockets, range-extension kits, guided bombs, UAVs, air-defense systems, sensors, and naval equipment. The common manufacturer context is important because the brand often represents a state-owned production and export network rather than a single narrow product plant.
