The company functions as the group's export agency, prime contractor, and system integrator for large international defence and aerospace projects, acting as a single point of contact for government and military customers across consultancies, project management, logistics, delivery, training, lifecycle support, and export credit financing.

Its product portfolio spans Land Systems (wheeled howitzers, armored vehicles in 4x4 to 8x8 configurations, engineering vehicles), Small/Medium/Large Caliber Ammunition (where CSG is the largest Western producer), Tactical Systems (weapons, protective gear, Battle Management Systems), Mobility Systems (TATRA Phoenix and Force trucks, DAKO-CZ brake systems, autonomous water units with Czech Technical University), Air Defence Systems (open-architecture multi-layered systems integrating VSHORAD-to-LRR radars with effectors on TATRA chassis), and Commercial Aerospace (air traffic control, MRO, simulation).

The business model combines hardware sales (defence and aerospace products) with professional services (prime contractor and integration) and managed services (export credit financing facilitation). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting defence ministries and government agencies through competitive tenders and direct relationship management in 70+ countries, with no third-party distributors. Named contract highlights include a Multi-Layered Air Defence System delivered to a South East Asian customer and radar systems that monitor over 90% of Indian airspace (a legacy of the Tesla Pardubice radar lineage).
