About this report
In the wake of unprecedented battlefield challenges revealed by the Ukraine war, a new Belgian defense startup is quietly redefining front-line protection. Hiraiwa Defence Solutions , founded in 2024 and headquartered in Brussels, develops ultra-portable systems to safeguard soldiers against modern threats.
Drones, improvised explosives, and other asymmetric weapons have eroded the traditional advantages of larger armies; Hiraiwa’s mission is to tilt the balance back in the defender’s favor. With a motto of “We Save Lives,” this young company designs nimble technologies – from mesh sensor networks to drone countermeasures – that can be deployed in austere conditions with minimal support.
