As Eurosatory 2026 opens its doors, Thales is pleased to share with you a complete overview of the announcements that will be made during the first day of this international defense and security show. This document centralizes all our news, innovations and partnerships, released June, 15 2026.
At Eurosatory 2026, Thales unveiled the new Gladiator Training Data Analytics solution, an artificial intelligence-powered platform designed to transform the vast amounts of data generated during military exercises into actionable operational insights. The system provides advanced After Action Review capabilities, AI-assisted communications analysis, event replay functions and automated performance assessment, enabling faster and more objective evaluation of training activities while helping armed forces enhance readiness and operational effectiveness.
In the field of counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), Thales introduced a next-generation 70 mm laser-guided rocket specifically developed to address the growing drone threat. The new munition combines precision engagement with a cost-effective intercept capability, offering armed forces a flexible and scalable solution for countering a wide range of unmanned aerial targets.
The company also presented the latest evolution of its Bushmaster protected mobility vehicle family, the Bushmaster Mulga Utility Variant. Designed to provide greater payload capacity and mission flexibility, the new variant supports logistics, combat support and specialist operational roles while retaining the high levels of protection, mobility and reliability that have made the Bushmaster a proven platform in service around the world.
Another key highlight was RapidStriker, a complete and highly mobile counter-UAS protection system integrating sensors, command-and-control capabilities and effectors within a single architecture. Developed to protect deployed forces, critical infrastructure and military installations, the system offers rapid deployment, operational flexibility and an effective response against the full spectrum of modern drone threats.
Finally, Thales and Renault Group jointly unveiled the 4TROOP tactical vehicle concept, an innovative platform designed to meet the requirements of future land operations. Combining Renault’s expertise in vehicle design and mobility with Thales’ advanced communications, networking and mission systems technologies, the 4TROOP aims to provide highly connected, agile and adaptable capabilities for next-generation network-centric military operations.
