Sajgonki (Poland)
KRÓLIK is a compact, distributed drone detection network that can be rapidly deployed — even by drones — to form a scalable sensor grid over large areas. Each weather-resistant node uses signal analysis and convolutional neural networks trained on over 20 000 samples to detect and localize UAVs with high precision. The lightweight, secure, and low-cost design (under 1000 PLN per km) makes it ideal for protecting military zones, borders, and critical infrastructure.

Raid (Portugal)
The solution is based on the use a ground Radar to assist an Interceptor drone to neutralize enemy drone targets.
Challenge addressed: Sovereign Aerospace
SkyHunter (Romania)
SkyHunter is an autonomous aerial defense platform designed to detect, track, and intercept hostile drones. Deployed in compact rooftop or field modules, each unit remains dormant until triggered by its integrated visual and acoustic array. Once a target is detected, SkyHunter rapidly launches, engages, and neutralizes the threat — fully autonomously and without human intervention.

Eurolynx (Spain)
EUROLYNX is a private Generative AI tool developed to analyze satellite and aerial imagery, automatically detect changes and anomalies, and
generate intelligence reports in under one hour using previous reports as training data. The system keeps imagery analysts in full control, with AI acting as a support tool rather than a replacement for human judgment. The project was developed by five Spanish military students from the General Air Academy. Their goal was to create a reliable, secure, and efficient tool to enhance situational awareness and decision-making in complex operational environments.

C-UAS BAVARIA (Germany)
The C-UAS BAVARIA team has developed a precise and cost-effective AI-supported ground-based measure for defending against drones for military
purposes. This solution closes a technical gap in drone defense between the use of smaller countermeasures and the use of missiles. The new technology uses precise detection technology and prediction mechanisms to take out the target with projectiles from an AI-controlled compressed air rifle. Use cases include the protection of tanks, infrastructure, and transport convoys.
