Eurosatory 2022 Innovation at the Core of the Exhibition

The stage is all set for the land and air defence and security exhibition, Eurosatory 2022, to be held from June 13 to 17 in Paris. The organisers highlighted that more than 1,800 exhibitors from 60 countries as well as 33 national pavilions have already registered and over 200 official delegations have been invited. 
 
The exhibition which started off with just 10 companies in 1968 has never stopped evolving. Attendees’ number has also continuously increased – visitors as well as exhibitors. 
Eurosatory offers a unique opportunity in a single location to meet all the land and airland defence and security manufacturers, to discover the latest trends and technological innovations in the domain and to expand professional networks.
 
It is a technology fair with the actual presence of the equipment produced by industrialists, sub-assemblies manufacturers and sub-contractors. Almost all the countries with a Defence and Security industry are represented.
 
It provides an opportunity to showcase new products. No less than 500 new products and systems are usually unveiled for the first time to participants. This year should be no exception. 
 
In addition to companies and Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), nearly 80 start-ups will be gathered at the Eurosatory LAB and on the Group of French Industries for Land and Air-land Defence and Security (GICAT) stand as part of the “Generate” cluster.
 
Eurosatory LAB 
The Eurosatory LAB is an area dedicated to defence and security start-ups.
Visitors will be able to discover the Eurosatory LAB on an area of more than 1,000 sqm. French and international start-ups gathered in the Eurosatory LAB will present their technological innovations to official delegations and industry professionals throughout the five days of the exhibition. Among the start-ups’ solutions, many civil innovations are applicable to Defence and Security issues.
 
High-level conferences will be held in the Agora. The Director of the Defence Innovation Agency will take part in the inaugural keynote, and the guests will be Founder of the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC), the “Defence Angels” network, as well as the Director of the Battle Lab Terre.
 
Pitching sessions and demonstrations will be held in the LAB, as well as a variety of interactive and convivial activities such as the public vote for the “Start-up of the Day” from June 14 to June 17, or the “Cocktail Lab “ which will be organised at lunchtime.
 
Start-up Challenge
For the first time, Eurosatory is planning to host a start-up challenge in partnership with Agorize. 
This competition is open to start-ups from all over the world. Participants will have to propose an innovation of a dual nature, likely to effectively transform the daily life of a Defence and Security actor in the exercise of its missions. The winning start-up will receive prizes including a presence at the exhibition where it will play a key role in the development of disruptive technologies.
 
‘Generate’ Programme
Launched in 2017, the ‘Generate’ programme enables French start-ups to understand and integrate the world of defence and security by providing them with tailor-made services and by allowing them to benefit from the GICAT network.
 
‘Generate’ is a start-up accelerator dedicated to defence and security issues in the broad sense. The programme offers a strategic vision by providing a start-up accelerator for their strategy, visibility and business development; content and reflection creator through several regular publications; and, facilitator of a network of innovation actors.
 
Airland Focus
For those interested in aeronautics, Eurosatory 2022 is an event not to be missed!
Given the current geopolitical situation, the airland sector is more relevant than ever. Air defence, the use of helicopters and drones, etc. are major concerns for European governments, but also for other regions. This is reflected by the fact that more than 17 per cent of the registered exhibitors are active in the airland sector. Among them are Airbus, MBDA, Thales, Rafael, DIEHL, BAE Systems, DAHER, Kongsberg, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, Rheinmetall, Roketsam, Hanwha, Elbit, Eurosam and Norinco.
 
All through the exhibition, the professionals of the sector will have the opportunity to meet a large number of aeronautical subcontractors working in defence, vehicle and missile subcontracting, as well as in aeronautical and space field.
 
Four helicopters will be exhibited at Eurosatory: three American helicopters, the Blackhawk, the Apache and for the first time the Chinook and Airbus’ H145M, offering a unique opportunity to see the equipment in action.
 
More than a hundred registered companies will display drones and drone systems: among these are Aeronautics (Israel), AeroVironment, (USA), Elistair (France), Hongkong Himark Electron Model, Skyborne Technologies (Australia). 
 
Almost all types of drones are expected to be on display. Visitors can discover mapping unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs), tactical UAVs, dual-propeller staggered-pitch UAVs, biomimetic UAVs, fixed-wing UAVs, micro-UAVs with docking station, swarm UAVs, mini-UAVs and many others.
 
There will also be a focus on the anti-aircraft field, with a range of air defence systems. More than 70 registered companies are expected to present products and services in this field, including AP-Flyer SP. Z O.O. (Poland), ApolloShield (Israel), Digital Research and Consulting Co.,Ltd (Thailand).
 
The event will also witness many conference sessions with themes like “Helicopters/Aerocombat” and “Drones/Anti-Drones Fighting” to further develop the aeronautical segment. 
The programme includes: Aerocombat in the Sahel–Saharan Strip - RETEX – French Army Staff; Future airmobile capability – French Army Staff; French military helicopters, excellent in the field of aerocombat – GICAT; Drones and robots tech challenges: autonomous use, swarms and drones/robots interactions - Drones4SEC; UAV Systems – GICAT; and the laser weapon, a game changer against drones – CILAS.
 
Crises Management
Eurosatory will further highlight the response to crisis issues with the new demonstrator “HELPED by COGES Events” - Humanitary Emergency Logistic Project and Eco Development. 
 
Presented for the first time, this demonstrator brings together industrial systems and highly developed civilian innovations. It aims to demonstrate the ability to provide a complete and rapid solution for assistance and support in the management of multiple and complicated crises.
 
HELPED was specifically designed to provide a concrete, global and suitable response to the increasing number of humanitarian and environmental crises.
 
Conflicts and climate change inflict much damage to society. The urgency of preserving lives and environment is at the core of the issues. Examples are multiplying for instance, the floods in Breil Sur Roya, Australia, Germany or the fires in California, Amazonia or recently in Mexico – to name a few. The characteristic of such emergency situations is that they require an immediate and coordinated response. 
 
This project began with the observation that the principles of the French military doctrine of intervention, stabilisation and normalisation follow a similar pattern to those governing humanitarian and development actions. 
 
HELPED by COGES (Commissariat Général des Expositions et Salons du GICAT) Events aims to respond to three proposals of the information report number 4912 of the French National Assembly tabled by the European Affairs Committee on European Civil Protection: Reinforce national capacities rather than letting them be overwhelmed by a crisis; Expand centres of expertise on new themes; Develop and diversify rescue by capitalising on the storage of materials useful in the context of hybrid crises.
 
Technological Clusters
As in every edition, in 2022, many equipment and materials will be displayed on the stands. For more visibility, new technological clusters have been created for this edition: Cyber, Engineering and Manufacturing, Medical/Health, Civil Security and Fire Fighting. The latest developments and main trends in defence and security technologies will be presented during outdoor dynamic demonstrations, a special feature of the exhibition.
