The major Eurosatory event in Paris is currently in full swing, and we have already established numerous new contacts and are conducting ongoing engagements with industry leaders.
This year’s focus highlights several critical areas and key takeaways where Expando's innovative solutions are perfectly aligned with market needs:
Drones/UAVs We have observed the significant impact of small drones on the battlefield, confirming their supremacy. These systems are making the battlefield transparent, and there is a notable emphasis on expendable tactical drones and stealthy drones that can operate close to combat zones.
Mobile Air Defense The modern battlefield's airborne threats create a pressing need for mobile air-defense systems. We’ve seen innovations that provide autonomous protection at the infantry-section level, with air-defense systems mounted on armored vehicles offering close-in protection against drone threats.
Deep Fires Artillery systems remain crucial, with a clear focus on long-range, mobile, and precise artillery. Our observations include advancements in systems like the BAE Systems Archer howitzer and guided artillery shells, enhancing artillery capabilities and mobility.
Electronic Warfare The rise of electronic and cyber warfare in modern conflicts highlights the need for resilient systems. We've noted advancements in hybrid navigation and agile communication systems that can operate in GNSS-denied environments, ensuring robust performance even in contested spaces.
If you're attending Eurosatory, don't hesitate to reach out and connect with us on-site.
Looking ahead, Expando will be participating in the DALO Industry Days in Ballerup, Denmark, on August 21-22. This event has evolved into the leading annual Nordic Security and Defence trade show. Please visit us there in booth BSA 042.
Additionally, we plan to attend the upcoming FSi Exhibition in Oslo on August 29.
Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to reach out if you'd like to arrange a meeting at any of these events.
