Trade shows are where EBAD shows up, listens, and connects with the people shaping the future of defense.

From booth setup to conversations with customers, partners, and industry leaders, Eurosatory: Paris 2026 was about more than showcasing technology. It was about understanding the mission, building relationships, and finding the right solutions to move forward together.

Watch the EBAD Eurosatory experience.

What a weekend for EBAD! 🏆🎶

Our EBAD Paddlers returned to the 2026 Riverfront Dragon Boat & Asian Festival as defending champions and brought home the GOLD once again, finishing in first place!

The fun continued at Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center, where EBAD employees volunteered at the WARP: A 90's Tribute Experience concert. From talking to concert goers about our latest mission to enjoying some of the greatest hits from the late 90's, our team enjoyed engaging with the community and celebrating an unforgettable night of music. If you weren't able to make it last weekend we will back at Simsbury Meadows on Saturday 8/22 for the Indigo Girls performance. Tickets are available on https://www.simsburymeadows.org/.

From the Connecticut River to the Simsbury concert stage, EBAD is proud to be an active, energetic part of the community.
