The exercise was held under the auspices of the NATO DIANA program.

Soldiers and representatives of Czech and foreign industrial companies tested the possibilities of using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Counter-UAS systems for defense against them. ERA together with its subsidiaries R-SYS and EOS Applications engaged in an intensive marathon of testing new technologies under conditions close to the real battlefield.

 R-SYS introduced a system called DOMINUS X, a Command and Control system which formed the backbone of the entire tested solution, integrating various types of sensors (radar, EO/IR, tags, MLAT, ADS-B) plus connecting them to ATM/ATC systems. The aim was to demonstrate the speed and agility of integrating third-party sensors and their effective use in a variety of tasks.

EOS Applications has demonstrated a solution called THANEOS, which adds drone´s detection, classification and tracking functionality to “simple” camera systems. The presented systems are part of the complex C-UAS solution of ERA sister company OMNIPOL Defence, which ERA cooperates with in OMNIPOL Group.

ERA would like to thank for this opportunity to the organizers from the Czech Armed Forces and NATO DIANA (Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic), who brought to life such unique exercise – outstanding in its scope, intensity and experimental character. See you next year!

ERA will unveil it at the exibition Future Forces in Prague ERA launches in Czech premiere its new product EW-DEC, a decoy for deception in the Electromagnetic Warfare domain, within the exhibition Future Forces Forum, held in Prague next week.
Welcome to its celebratory "debut" - come and see it at OMNIPOL Group stand!

ERA presented at the exercise EW Live 2026 its ERA SHIELD complex solution. Live indeed Last month ERA (a member of OMNIPOL group) took part in Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) exercise EW LIVE 2026 in Tartu, Estonia, the one-of-a-kind event dedicated to EW community. ERA team presented the comprehensive solution ”ERA SHIELD” including its unique and even combat proven passive surveillance sensors and several novelties. As a highlight ERA has launched its new product EW-DEC (Electromagnetic Warfare Radar Decoy) for deception of adversary.

Within official launch ceremony of EW-DEC product ERA team welcomed H. E. Zdenek Beranek, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Estonia, who has become a godfather of the newborn. The decoy EW-DEC was exhibited in situ and dragged attention of incoming visitors to ERA exhibition spot. ERA experts explained them that EW-DEC serves as a configurable decoy emitting radar signals that resemble the behaviour of real devices for deception in EW domain, attracting an adversary and thus protecting one’s assets.

Apart of introducing the appraised novelty ERA team worked tirelessly to explain complex “ERA Shield” solutions to dozens of foreign delegations. And not only explain, show the results of the surveillance and reconnaissance systems live and in real time. ERA presented its proven passive sensors PET VERA-NG and Over the Horizon system PLESS and related information systems: data mining tool for management of ESM databases EW-EDMT and ESM/ELINT simulator for training called EW-SIM.

The visitors of an improvised Life Demo studio at the Tartu airfield have been also curious about other newcomers to ERA portfolio in R&D progress: EW-BOX for automated RAW/IQ data processing and Theosight OSINT analysis tool introduced by ERA subsidiary EOS Applications.

EW Live has been built around seeing capabilities in action, bringing the right people together and creating an environment where real cooperation can begin. In 2,5 days’ time frame it offered 540 demos for participants from 35 countries.

ERA has participated in cooperation with its trusted partner, Polish company GISS.

At ERA - GISS joined stand ERA has been focusing on the passive surveillance solutions for modern defence concept, and GISS has presented the satellite and tactical communications and the air traffic management systems.

ERA team has presented its unique systems to a number of VIP visitors, army officials, business partners and journalists.  Among VIP guests was His Excellence Břetislav Dančák, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Poland, who paid a visit to ERA boost and was introduced to its latest innovations. ERA Sales Manager had an interview for CZ Defence magazine explaining ERA defence product portfolio: its sensors VERA-NG and PLESS and the SW family of information systems.

MSPO (Międzynarodowy Salon Przemysłu Obronnego - International Salon for Defense Industry) Kielce offers four days of expositions of military technologies and opportunities for business meetings.

The NATO Days airshow took place on September 19–20, 2026, at the Leoš Janáček Airport in Ostrava-Mošnov, attracting over 150,000 visitors. The OMNIPOL Group’s joint exhibition was visited by the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel.

At NATO Days, ERA presented its passive surveillance systems in collaboration with other companies of OMNIPOL Group: MESIT, Aircraft Industries, Aero Vodochody, OMNIPOL Defence, and OMNIPOL Airports. In the OMNIPOL Group’s shared chalet, company representatives welcomed distinguished guests: officials of the Czech Armed Forces, political leaders, business partners, foreign delegations, and journalists. Meanwhile, at the outdoor exhibition area, ERA experts explained the added value of the VERA-NG and PLESS sensors to visitors and highlighted several promising newcomers to portfolio in development. Within the weekend in the airport’s VIP zone they hosted—among others—Czech President Petr Pavel, Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlíček, and Minister of Defence Jaromír Zůna.

Around eight hours of programming were scheduled for each day, featuring dynamic demonstrations both in the air and on the airfield. One of the event's highlights was the display of a German-liveried Tornado aircraft; this marked the first time the public in Mošnov had seen this aircraft perform in flight. The event culminated in a performance by the British aerobatic team, the Red Arrows.

There was also significant interest in the aircraft and other equipment featured in the static displays. The Czech Army’s newest acquisition, the Embraer C-390 Millennium transport aircraft, also made its public debut there.

Spectators watched demonstrations such as an intervention by the Ostrava Municipal Police’s operational and public order units against a group disturbing the peace. The audience also witnessed a tactical response by the Prison Service and the Czech Police to an attack on a prison transport, as well as a joint operation by the Czech and German Customs Administrations against perpetrators of illegal cross-border activities.
