SYS completed its product family for small arms calibers with 12.7 m CANiK M2 QCB. The company determined the medium caliber weapons market as a target at the end of the 2010s. In this process, the company established its subsidiary UNIDEF in 2013 to run weapon integration projects, and another subsidiary, UNIROBOTICS, in 2020 to provide software, hardware, and mechatronic engineering solutions for weapon integration. As such, SYS became a company that completed its small arms product range and that developed its weapon integration capabilities, a crucial concept for medium caliber weapons.

AEI Systems slowly became ready for acquisition in this process. AEI Systems is a historied company, and its previous products still serve in many British-made air and sea platforms. These air and sea platforms are used by British Armed Forces as well as India, New Zealand, Australia, and various countries in the Arabian Peninsula.
