Fire Point has unveiled a suite of advanced manufacturing technologies developed for rocket engine and aerospace component production at Eurosatory 2026, one of the world’s leading defense and security exhibitions. The company introduced three proprietary systems designed to strengthen domestic industrial capabilities and support scalable production of advanced aerospace and defense platforms.
The showcase highlights Fire Point’s strategy of developing critical manufacturing equipment in-house, reducing reliance on imported machinery while enhancing production flexibility and efficiency. According to company leadership, the initiative was driven by the high costs and extended lead times associated with procuring specialized foreign-made equipment.
Denis Shtilerman, Chief Designer and Co-owner of Fire Point, said that approximately 90 percent of the machinery used in the company’s rocket production operations has been developed domestically, with a substantial portion designed and manufactured directly by Fire Point in collaboration with local industrial partners.
Among the technologies presented was the AKIRO/KUROSAVA winding machine, a system developed specifically for manufacturing large composite structures used in aerospace applications. The machine is capable of processing components up to 10 meters in length, 1.2 meters in diameter and weighing up to 10 tonnes. Designed for rapid scalability, the equipment enables production of composite components used across multiple rocket systems while minimizing dependence on imported assemblies and critical subsystems.
The company also introduced the WINDILINE platform, a versatile heavy-machinery solution developed as a foundation for next-generation industrial manufacturing. The platform can be configured for filament winding, precision milling and robotic material placement applications. Equipped with high-speed linear motor technology, the machine supports five-axis machining and can process components measuring up to 18 meters in length and 2.5 meters in diameter.
Designed with a modular architecture, WINDILINE offers flexibility for future upgrades and adaptation to specialized production requirements. Its robust construction and precision capabilities position it as a key platform for advanced manufacturing programs requiring large-scale component fabrication.
Completing the exhibit was the STJ-CT-6000 3D X-Ray System, developed for advanced non-destructive testing and quality assurance. The system enables both two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging, as well as computed tomography inspection of metallic, composite and reinforced polymer structures. It is also capable of examining additively manufactured components with high-resolution imaging accuracy.
The unveiling underscores Fire Point’s broader efforts to develop a vertically integrated manufacturing ecosystem capable of supporting advanced aerospace and defense production. By investing in indigenous machinery, automation and inspection technologies, the company aims to strengthen production resilience, reduce dependency on foreign suppliers and accelerate innovation across critical industrial sectors. The technologies presented at Eurosatory 2026 demonstrate how advanced manufacturing capabilities are becoming increasingly important in supporting the next generation of aerospace, defense and high-performance engineering programs worldwide.
