EDA’s CEMA event brought together EU Member States and key defence and technology firms including Avantix, ELT Group, ERA, FiveD, Forward Global, Integrasys, MyDefence and Vedette Consulting. Participants explored how synchronised cyber and electromagnetic operations support multi-domain and cognitive warfare, and how integration is vital to maintaining an operational edge.
Presentations covered a broad range of expertise, from counter-unmanned aerial systems and passive surveillance technologies to radar simulation, anti-jamming tools and software-defined solutions. The industry day aimed to deepen understanding and encourage collaboration between Member States and industry on these emerging capabilities.
The initiative is part of the Agency’s wider focus on Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (C5ISTAR). It reflects EDA’s commitment to strengthening the EU’s defence technological and industrial base through enhanced cooperation and innovation.
EDA continues to support its 27 Member States by acting as a collaborative platform to improve shared defence capabilities. “Acting as an enabler and facilitator for Ministries of Defence willing to engage in collaborative capability projects, the Agency has become the hub for European defence cooperation, with expertise and networks covering the full spectrum of defence capabilities,” the Agency stated.
