Eurosatory 2026: Iran’s attacks on UAE have “accelerated” Edge’s plans, says company
The UAE’s Edge has undergone massive changes since it was formed in 2019, from acquisitions to partnerships, and has now set up a European division in Paris.
Presagis has announced the releases of its new modelling and simulation (M&S) software portfolio, M&S Suite 13, designed to expedite application development for training, operations and simulation analysis.
The company said it has developed the new version of its M&S solution to overcome the cost of integrating disparate home-grown and third-party solutions. The new suite unites 3D modelling, terrain generation, simulation and visualisation software into one integrated package to enable users to create simulation content and scenarios faster while achieving greater realism and better performance.
M&S Suite 13 components include a modernised user interface with fully customisable desktop for faster 3D model development; a simplified terrain generation process; sharper visualisation; and a complete simulation development environment that includes more than fifty new civilian and military platforms and a new auto-population tool.
Stéphane Blondin, vice president, product management and marketing, Presagis, said: ‘Our customers are increasingly looking for ways to lower the costs associated with developing their simulation applications and consolidate the number of tools they use in order to focus efforts solely on their core businesses.
‘M&S Suite 13 was developed based on input gathered from client surveys, user groups and beta programmes, which streamlined development and produced superior simulation-based applications for training, operations and analysis.’
The system’s toolset provides an open, scalable, and reusable M&S environment; and new licensing options offer customers enhanced commercial flexibility.
Presagis serves the aerospace and defence, public safety and security, critical infrastructure, transportation, and academia markets.

Dozens of partnership agreements, joint ventures and industrial cooperation arrangements were announced at Eurosatory 2026, highlighting how defence companies are expanding production capacity, localising manufacturing and accelerating capability development in anticipation of rising defence spending.
European law enforcement and public security agencies are entering a new cycle of investment in personal protection equipment (PPE), driven by evolving threat profiles, officer welfare requirements and advances in materials technology.
European militaries face a rapidly evolving security landscape and defence production must accelerate to meet surging demand for platforms and equipment. Industry needs to adapt to ensure it gets its products into the hands of the end user, Evelyn Rafferty, Senior Director Aerospace and Defence - Europe at Plexus told Shephard’s Gerrard Cowan.
Autonomous systems developer Milrem has evolved a model for an interoperable robotised approach to the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative (EFDI), showing how uncrewed systems could provide a multi-layered defence architecture in the air and on land along NATO’s eastern borders.
