Over five days at the Brétigny-sur-Orge flight test center, CS GROUP— a pioneer in counter-UAS solutions in France for over 10 years—did far more than present its BOREADES solution. We demonstrated what it truly means today to master counter-drone operations in all their complexity, through multiple operational scenarios in fixed and mobile configurations, as well as in interoperable environments.
We were pleased to welcome numerous stakeholders from across the sector, including representatives from the armed forces, the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA), and several international delegations.
The quality of the discussions enabled valuable exchanges on operational needs, evolving threats, and key challenges shaping the field, including: solution modularity, architecture standardization, interoperability with existing systems and tactical data links, system mobility, the contribution of artificial intelligence, and the integration of proven hard skill solutions tested in Ukraine.
CS GROUP continues to invest, experiment, and innovate to continuously enhance its solutions and anticipate emerging threats. This leadership is driven by a strong conviction: only a system-level approach—combining sensors, effectors, and software intelligence—can effectively address current and future challenges.
A heartfelt thank you to all the teams involved and to our guests for the quality of the exchanges and demonstrations. Together, we are advancing counter-UAS capabilities.
