The 2026 edition of Eurosatory will be held from June 15 to 19 at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition center on the theme “Anticipating the challenges of Defense and Security”.
Around the themes of multi-domain superiority, remote combat, land maneuver and aeromobility, global security, crisis management and industrial resilience, this edition promises to be the most ambitious ever carried out in this context of global rearmament.
Beyond the presentation of its projects on the stand of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, the Defense Innovation Agency will be present in an unprecedented way on the EUROSATORY Lab stand. This space dedicated to start-ups from around the world presents their disruptive technological innovations in areas such as AI, quantum technologies, etc. Finally, AID will participate in a round table on France-Ukraine cooperation and will be present, as at every arms fair, with its Single Window on the PEPS stand.
France -Ukraine – Intervention by the IGA Patrick Aufort, Director of the Defense Innovation Agency
After several years of war, Ukraine had to adapt and give priority to innovation. Major advances have been made particularly in the use of unmanned systems and drones of all mediums. AID and the Ukrainian government platform Brave 1 are intensifying their collaboration on military innovation.
The Director of the Agency will speak on Tuesday June 16, at 10 a.m. (Delat, Hall 4) to present the Brave France initiative, alongside Iryna ZABOLOTNA, Chief Operating Officer BRAVE 1.
Officially launched in January 2026, this ambitious initiative aims to promote the development of joint innovative technological solutions for the benefit of the Ukrainian and French armies. The main objective is to strengthen bilateral efforts through appropriate financing, targeting technologies capable of producing rapid and operational results on the ground.
The Agency exhibits innovative projects on the stand of the Ministry of the Armed Forces (HALL 5 location F56)
The Defense Innovation Agency, conductor of innovation for the benefit of the entire ministry, management and service, presents projects of interest on the ministry’s stand around an immersive journey promoting the discovery of emblematic equipment of operations air-land.
Drone swarms
Multi-agent flight in agile formation.
The swarm adapts in real time to the situation (drone addition/removal, change of formation, obstacle avoidance) in order to prove its effectiveness in real conditions during experimental tests.
This dynamic presentation will be offered throughout the show on the external stand of the Ministry of the Armed Forces with the aim of explaining swarm operation and its adaptation in real time around a drone.

Ktrace – BIP
Near real-time geolocation beacon.
K-TRACE is a portable data collection and geolocation solution. Equipped with an alert system, this solution allows the sending of fast and secure messages. It offers long autonomy as well as global geolocation, without ground infrastructure. Following on from Ktrace, the BIP project, financed by France 2030, was tested in particular during the major Orion 26 exercise.
Port: Kineis
Larinae mutant XL & Strix/Â
Remotely operated ammunition (MTO) capable of detecting, identifying, engaging and neutralizing fixed and mobile armored targets at a range of 50km.
As part of the LARINAE call for projects, the objective is to evaluate a solution for neutralizing armored targets with a range of 50 to 100 km and an autonomy of 40 min to 5 hours.
Project carried out by: DELAIR, MBDA, KNDS, EOS
NAVDACÂ
Geographic Objective System by Hybridization in denial of access.
NAVDAC is a military navigation solution designed to maintain real-time display of positioning and Blue Force Tracking (BFT) in jammed/contested areas, from airborne phases (infiltration under sail) to ground operations.
This system brings together proven technological building blocks (navigation, communications, energy, EUD, GIS integration) within a unique, ergonomic, robust and modular architecture, guaranteeing mission continuity whatever the vector (air-land, nautical, motorized, pedestrian).
NAVDAC aims to strengthen situational awareness, reduce operational risk linked to loss of navigation and accelerate the transition “from sky to earth” thanks to optimized hardware integration (rapid attachment, simplified logistics).

PeriphasÂ
Portable solution for detecting, classifying and tracking small objects in a video stream from a multifunction binocular.
PERIPHAS aims to make an electro-optical sensor (RGB and IR) autonomous in the detection, classification and tracking of objects of interest (aerial and/or maritime). It can assist the sensor operator or provide enriched leads to tactical situation management systems.

AID is present for the first time on the EUROSATORY lab stand. (HALL 5B location 31)
The Agency, alongside the companies supporting its projects, will present in this dedicated space its disruptive technological innovations in areas that shape the future of the sector.
Nation Prod View, virtual factory in additive manufacturing.
Nation Prod View is a virtual factory experiment in additive manufacturing for the armed forces and civil industry. This experiment is presented in the form of a dashboard of national means of production accessible through a window on a secure platform developed by NICOMATIC. Nation Prod View provides real-time access to means of production and services in the civil sector when internal technical means are insufficient. It must also ensure secure and lasting archiving of transactions as well as all technical documentation relating to the production of the parts produced.

MONITOR, development and testing of a performance monitoring application.Â
This project, carried out in collaboration with the Dutch and Swedish armed forces, aims to test a physiological monitoring system, within the framework of individual and collective training, as well as in operational conditions. The solution will allow training programs to be adjusted in real time based on physiological data. The objective is to adapt physical activities to prevent injuries, stress, and preserve operational capacity.
Port at l’MAUNA
METASSAT
The Rapid METASSAT project aims to study and produce a beam-switching metasurface antenna for low-orbit LEO satellite communications applications operating in Ka band.
Carried by ULTIMETAS
The Defense Innovation Agency will exhibit two other new projects at the EUROSATORY lab which will be exhibited successively over two days.
BIOMEMORY – presented on Monday June 15 and Tuesday June 16.
This project, led by the Future Combat Command and the Defense Digital Commission with the support of AID, makes it possible to study IT solutions based on DNA to complement the limits of traditional digital infrastructures, by providing unique capabilities of security, durability and longevity. First deployed to protect critical data, this technology is intended to expand on a large scale towards new generation cold storage.
Porté on Biomémory
KALI – study and creation of Kits for the Adaptation of the Body Interface (bulletproof vest) – presented on Wednesday June 17 and Thursday June 18.
The Defense Innovation Agency has launched the KALI innovation partnership, a unique initiative to provide female Army personnel with solutions to reduce the discomfort and risks of inappropriately wearing bulletproof vests. The project, co-led by AID and the Army with the support of experts from the DGA, is taking place in two phases: the first notified on July 17, 2025 will be followed by a phase of acquisition and deployment of solutions in the Forces during the year 2026.

Focus sur le «Unique Guichet» de l’AID, present sur le stand de « PEPS »
In order to promote the identification of projects and solutions that may be of interest to defense, AID offers companies the services of a “One Stop Shop”.
Entry point for entities wishing to make themselves known and spontaneously propose their projects or solutions, the Agency’s One Stop Shop teams will be present on the PEPS stand “Plan in favor of ETIs, SMEs and start-ups”, Hall 4 – G06, alongside those of the Defense Industry Directorate of the DGA.
A unique opportunity to initiate a local dialogue, a guarantee of a relationship of trust, during this world reference meeting for Defense and Security (D&S).
Come and discover these innovations and chat with the AID teams on our different stands from June 15 to 19!
