Innovation Gallery

We are thrilled to announce that MBDA has been selected for the first Innovation Gallery at VIVATECH, where we will present SPLINTER, MBDA’s groundbreaking initiative in space defense. SPLINTER is a ‘hunter’ satellite designed for Low Earth Orbit (LSO) missions, reflecting our commitment to protect space assets.

Once a domain of exploration, space is now a critical theater of modern conflicts. It supports essential military capabilities and play a vital role in intelligence gathering, in communications, in navigation, and early warning. And it also faces growing threats, including signal jamming, trajectory manipulation and in-orbit aggressions.

2026 marks a significant milestone for our Group, as we collaborate with the startup U-SPACE on the TOUTATIS in-orbit demonstration, planned for launch on the Maia rocket. This program will pioneer active military intervention in LSO, featuring two complementary satellites: LISA-1, the ‘observer’, and SPLINTER, the highly manoeuvrable ‘hunter’.

SPLINTER stands out with its advanced sensors, propulsion, and laser systems, making it a cutting-edge solution for space defense. As threats escalate and armed forces become increasingly reliant on space-based services, ensuring a secure and open access to space has become an absolute priority. Leading this new realm of capabilities, MBDA is committed to driving the development of a credible and autonomous European space defense strategy.

COBRA Demonstrator

Discover an immersive and interactive experience with our COBRA demonstrator, designed to highlight the critical aspects of testability and system engineering.

The COBRA demonstrator serves as an educational and engaging tool aimed at showcasing Environmental Duty Testers (EDTs) and their application scenarios. Through our innovative escape game format, participants will step into the role of a test technician, facing the dynamic challenges of detecting and resolving real-time system failures in an engaging and pedagogical setting.

Our escape game is designed with a sleek, polished aesthetic, featuring a realistic testing system and a futuristic, intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) that is both tactile and projectable.
