Technologies for Space and Defence
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.
Trusk Tech (The Netherlands)
Trusk Tech focused on developing an autonomous interceptor drone system to counter the threat of low-cost Shahed kamikaze drones — a growing concern for European aerospace security.
Raid (Portugal)
The solution is based on the use a ground Radar to assist an Interceptor drone to neutralize enemy drone targets.
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.
Kestrel Defence (Czech Republic)
To address challenges of what to buy, where to place it and also what to develop in terms of military equipment, team Kestrel has proposed an algorithmic military decision simulation software, able to simulate thousands of cenarios of UAV attacks, helping to shape the defence strategy.
True Sight (Italy)
Augmented reality solutions for enhancing situational awareness with control of distributed robotic systems implemented, reducing risks. The solution also allows to share commands between all operators and systems.
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.
2025 Spring Edition
Rapid Defence Solutions for the Ukrainian battlefield and beyond
18°C Thermal (Poland)
Harlequin Defense (Lithuania)
Building an autonomous and modular counter-FPV drone system that detects, tracks, and ultimately shoots down FPV drones attacking the protected troops and assets.
AEREUS (Germany)
Aegis Medic (Czech Republic)
DFT Frontier (Denmark)
SPECTRE (Italy)
Is a next-generation acoustic stealth technology for multirotor UAVs operating in hostile environments.
EchoSentinel (Latvia)
Lightweight, cost-effective battlefield intelligence system designed to enhance tactical situational awareness by detecting and analyzing audio signatures of vehicles and drones.
Battle Field Network (Spain)
Denmark
EUDIS was the step that I needed to finally create a startup company. I had been thinking about it for a long time, and I did not think that participating in this hackathon would finally help me cross that border, but the inspiring mentors and the provided environment and competition for growth were precisely what I needed.
Latvia
Exceptionally well-organised, properly structured program that’s run like a tight ship. If you're looking to 'speedrun' your entry into defence or dual-go EUDIS. The pace is intense, the support is always there, and the drive to build is clear.
Poland
The EUDIS Hackathon enabled the Harlequin Defense team to gain insight into the inner workings of the defence industry and shape our project to be executed as best as possible. As the defence industry, for the most part, is "camouflaged" from the public eye, the insights provided by the mentors are incredibly valuable. Mentors not only show how successful products are developed internally but are also crucially open to all sorts of questions from the participating teams. This openness is simply irreplaceable when it comes to learning about the industry and defence in general.
Lithuania
Participating in the EUDIS Hack program was an incredibly valuable experience. We received feedback from a wide range of mentors with diverse backgrounds, which greatly enriched our project. We also had the opportunity to suggest mentors based on our specific needs, making the mentoring process truly personalised and impactful. I would recommend this experience to other innovative teams.

Digital in Defence
Aquahub - Poland
Superlabs - Greece
EUnify - Belgium
Fraudshield - Hungary
Euri Swarm - Italy
Eye of Lizdeika - Lithuania
Through EUDIS, we have cultivated an environment that encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and technical excellence. The hackathon teams have not only showcased their skills but have also demonstrated remarkable teamwork and resilience under pressure. It is a joy to guide them, provide insights, and witness their growth throughout the process.
Karol - Poland - Undergraduate at University of Manchester
One “free” weekend turned into an amazing future-changing experience for us. During the Hackathon, not only did we meet new international friends, we also started building professional relationships and learnt a lot about innovation and the Defence industry in a very pleasant hands-on manner. The mentorship programme and the coaches really help in making our invented solution a reality and in founding a Defence start-up company. It’s well-balanced and covers a lot of business school topics.
Dieter Lambrecht - Belgium - Winning team
EUDIS provided us with great experts from the battlefield, that based on feedback allowed us to learn, iterate and bring our final solution to a useful product much faster than we would be able to alone. Already being tested with multiple armies. Highly recommendable for anyone in dual-use!
