CSG Group to Exhibit Its Products and Projects at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris
From 15 to 19 June, the next edition of Eurosatory 2026, the international trade fair for defence technologies and military equipment and the largest event of its kind in Europe, will take place in Paris. Among the regular participants in this prestigious showcase will be companies from CSG group, which will present their products, projects and technological solutions in a joint exhibition in Hall 5a, at stands K246 and K256. It will be one of the largest exhibitions at the fair and, at the same time, the largest exhibition by companies from the Czech Republic. The exhibitors will include Tatra Defence, Tatra Export, Excalibur International, Excalibur Army, MSM Land Systems, MSM Group, Retia, Eldis, AviaNera Technologies, as well as the Fiocchi Munizioni, Federal, Speer and CCI brands grouped under the CSG Ammo+ division.
On the very first day of the fair, Tatra Defence will unveil the Tadeas 4×4 vehicle in a command version as a world premiere, complementing the already produced Tadeas 6×6 version. The vehicle’s welded armoured hull provides a high level of protection and can also be fitted with additional armour up to ballistic protection Level 4 according to STANAG 4569. Roof hatches, weapon mounts or remotely controlled weapon stations can be integrated into the roof as required. A major advantage is the sharing of chassis and electronic components with the third generation of the Tatra Force series. The powertrain options include air-cooled Tatra engines or liquid-cooled Caterpillar and Cummins engines combined with automatic, automated or manual transmissions. Together with Tatra Export, Tatra Defence will also exhibit the third-generation Tatra Force 8×8 in a hook-loader configuration with an armoured cab developed and manufactured by Tatra Defence.
Tatra Export, representing the vehicle manufacturer Tatra Trucks, will present the full portfolio of Tatra medium and heavy logistics vehicles at Eurosatory 2026. The main exhibit at CSG group’s joint stand will be the aforementioned third-generation Tatra Force 8×8 in a hook-loader configuration with an armoured cab. The third generation of the Force military series is equipped with modern engines and advanced onboard electronics, and offers a high level of safety, ergonomics and ease of operation. The chassis uses the proven Tatra concept of a central backbone tube and independently suspended swinging half-axles with air suspension. Multi-axle versions are available with various numbers of driven and steerable axles. The Tatra chassis platform is also used by the Tadeas 4×4 vehicle, which will be presented as a world premiere. A number of foreign exhibitors will also present weapon, electronic and other special systems built on Tatra chassis at the fair.
During a ceremonial event at Eurosatory, Excalibur International will present the Trident air defence system, a modular short-, medium- and long-range solution whose final configuration can be adapted to the customer’s operational requirements. Excalibur International integrates the system, finances its development and customisation according to customer requirements, and offers it on global markets. In addition to guided missiles, the system can integrate gun-based effectors, systems designed to counter drones and other unmanned assets, electronic warfare elements and jamming systems. The Czech company Retia is developing and manufacturing radars for the Trident system and supplying the command-and-control system; Tatra Trucks is providing the chassis platforms; Tatra Defence is responsible for the development and manufacture of armoured cabs, superstructures and launcher platforms; and Turkey’s Roketsan is supplying guided missiles, including transport-launch containers. The company will also exhibit a model of the Korkut air defence system, developed in cooperation with Turkey’s Aselsan. The Deep Strike unmanned system will also be presented in scale model form, while other projects will be showcased through electronic presentations.
Within CSG group’s exhibition, Excalibur Army will present its DITA 155 mm and MORANA 155 mm artillery systems through electronic presentations. These are modern NATO-standard systems; DITA has already found customers, while MORANA is currently undergoing a series of demanding live-fire tests. Visitors will also be able to learn about the TREVA-30 recovery and evacuation vehicle on a Tatra Force 8×8 chassis, the Patriot 4×4 armoured vehicle, the RM-70 Vampire rocket system, and the AM-70EX and AM-50EX bridge-laying vehicles.
Eurosatory 2026 will also feature the new CFL-120 Karpat vehicle, a medium tank resulting from cooperation between CSG group and the Turkish company FNSS. The CFL-120 Karpat is a versatile tracked combat platform in the medium weight category for European and non-European customers. It combines tank-level firepower, high mobility, modular protection, and lower operational and logistics requirements. The project brings together FNSS’s experience with tracked armoured platforms, CSG group’s industrial base at the Slovak company MSM Land Systems, and Leonardo’s Hitfact MkII turret with a 120 mm cannon.
Within CSG group, the MSM Group holding company covers companies specialising primarily in the production of medium- and large-calibre ammunition. At Eurosatory the Slovak companies ZVS and VOP Nováky, the Czech company ZVI, and Spanish Fábrica de Municiones de Granada will present its products. Visitors will be able to view 105 mm and 120 mm tank ammunition meeting NATO standards. NATO-standard 105 mm and 155 mm artillery ammunition will also be on display, along with training ammunition for tanks and artillery. Medium-calibre ammunition will be represented by 30×173 mm, 30×165 mm, 20×102 mm and 30×113 mm rounds, suitable, among other uses, for infantry fighting vehicles and light armoured vehicles. Unguided 122 mm rockets will also be on display. The portfolio of companies grouped under MSM Group also includes pyrotechnic components and fuzes, charges, propellants and powder charges for tank and artillery ammunition, as well as products related to the production of TNT and nitrocellulose from the portfolio of the German company MSM Walsrode.
Retia will present four systems at Eurosatory designed for modern ground forces, air defence and combat vehicles. These will include, for example, the ReCUBE GBAD system, a command-and-control centre for ground-based air defence housed in a mobile standardised container transported on a Tatra Force 8×8 vehicle. It provides integrated real-time control of sensors and effectors, enables the rapid deployment of an air defence battery in the field, and uses optical, radio and ground data links. Another exhibit will be the SAAV system, presented as a model, which is also housed in a mobile container. It is a situational awareness system for ground vehicles, providing automated 360° awareness of the surrounding environment. It uses artificial intelligence, day and night cameras, built-in GPU units and centralised data processing. Another system to be presented will be Clear Sky, which extends SAAV’s capabilities into the airspace. It is an AI application for real-time 360° situational awareness, focused on the detection, identification, classification and tracking of aerial threats, especially unmanned systems. The fourth system on display will be ReINS, a highly accurate autonomous inertial navigation system with GPS support. It ensures reliable determination of the position, heading, tilt and orientation of ground platforms even in demanding conditions.
As part of CSG group’s exhibition at Eurosatory 2026, Eldis Pardubice will display models of its key airport radars. These will primarily include the latest RL-3000 primary 3D surveillance radar and the PAR-NG precision approach radar, which builds on the commercially successful PAR-E model. The concept of both new products is based on software control of the entire system, significantly simplifying maintenance. AviaNera Technologies, a company closely linked to Excalibur International, will also exhibit at CSG group’s stand. In Paris, it will present its compact turbojet and turbofan engines designed for modern weapon platforms, such as cruise missiles, training targets and anti-ship missiles. Company representatives will also introduce the professional public to other propulsion units under development in the company’s portfolio, as well as its strategic development projects.
Companies belonging to the CSG Ammo+ division, which brings together manufacturers of small-calibre ammunition, will also be represented at CSG group’s joint stand. These will include Fiocchi Munizioni, Federal, Speer and CCI, which will showcase a broad portfolio of small-calibre and shotgun ammunition for pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns. Thanks to the capacities of all these companies and brands, CSG group ranks among the global leaders in the field of small-calibre ammunition.
