ATERMES will showcase its latest autonomous defense systems at the upcoming Eurosatory 2026 exhibition in Paris from June 15 to 19.
The French company plans to demonstrate how these technologies integrate automation with human supervision. Notably, this participation highlights the company’s expanding role in international security markets.
The company will present ALTORE, a counter-UAS system designed to detect and neutralize hostile drones. In addition, the company is highlighting SURICATE, an AI-driven surveillance system that has reached full manufacturing capacity. This system has already been delivered to clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Furthermore, the tactical perimeter defense solution BARIER will be displayed alongside a newly launched Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) division. This new department provides lifecycle support and predictive maintenance for deployed equipment. Consequently, these services aim to reduce operational downtime for military forces.
Developing Autonomous Defense Systems
The integration of artificial intelligence serves as the core engine for these autonomous defense systems. Specifically, the software uses algorithms to automate threat detection while maintaining human control over final engagement decisions. Meanwhile, the company continues to manufacture critical components for major defense actors as an original equipment manufacturer.
“Our presence at Eurosatory 2026 is a powerful testament to our promise to engineer intelligent, AI-forward defense systems capable of outpacing today’s fluid threat vectors.”
Lionel Thomas, CEO of ATERMES
Expanding International Operations
The company is actively expanding its international footprint, particularly across the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent. To support this growth, live field demonstrations of the SURICATE system are scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. These demonstrations will take place both locally and at the company’s facility in France.
Industrial Cooperation and Heritage
Founded in 1989, the company has over 30 years of experience in mechanics, electronics, optronics, and software. As a result, its industrial cooperation activity has become a significant source of revenue. Visitors can find the company’s representatives at stand B31 in Hall 4 during the Paris event.
Future Outlook for Defense Technology
Looking forward, the company plans to continue developing its autonomous defense systems to address evolving global security challenges. By collaborating with international partners, the firm aims to deliver tailored architectures that perform under actual operational conditions. This strategy ensures long-term readiness for frontline forces.
