First appearance at Eurosatory for AURA AERO, with its defense subsidiary, AURA M

press release


AURA AERO announces its first appearance at Eurosatory with AURA M, its subsidiary specializing in defense aviation solutions. Located in Hall 4, Booth C25, the company will showcase its military roadmap and its range of platforms designed to meet the evolving needs of the armed forces.

AURA M is the defense division of AURA AERO. It was established to design, produce, and deploy next-generation sovereign aerospace capabilities. In a context where the armed forces are seeking solutions that are scalable, interoperable, and cost-effective, its approach draws on AURA AERO’s industrial expertise in design, prototyping, certification and production. With AURA M, AURA AERO aims to accelerate the transition from operational need to deployable capability.

“With AURA M, we aim to establish ourselves as a clearly recognized player in the defense aerospace sector, a mid-sized, innovative company capable of developing open-architecture systems and producing the production runs that the military needs. Our first participation in Eurosatory is an opportunity to unveil the final design of the ENBATA MALE drone ahead of its maiden flight, expected in the fall of 2026,the first in a family of drones that will rapidly expand” states General (Ret.) Stéphane Mille, President of AURA M.

At Eurosatory, AURA M will present its range dedicated to military application: initial training, long-endurance intelligence, collaborative air capabilities, or tactical mobility.

INTEGRAL M addresses the need for selection and initial training of military pilots. A two-seat training aircraft with aerobatic capabilities, it was designed to ensure safety during the first hours of flight, objectively assess student progress and reduce overall training costs. Its side-by-side cockpit, fully exploitable flight data, whole aircraft rescue parachute, a first for this class of aircraft, and a tool for analyzing digital flight data round out the features of this modern aircraft, which is available in both a thermal-powered and a 100% electric version.
With ENBATA, a single aircraft will meet requirements for long-endurance ISR missions, maritime or land surveillance, communications relay, electronic warfare, and anti-drone operations. As a sovereign theater drone, it will be 100% ITAR-free, EASA-certified, and designed with an open architecture to adapt more easily to operational needs. As from 2027, it will enable testing of collaborative modules that will
foreshadow the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). This autonomous or semi-autonomous platform will operate in coordination with piloted aircraft or in a swarm with other CCAs.

Finally, INTRUDER, the military version of ERA, will have a wide range of applications: training commercial pilots, VIP transport, and special missions requiring silent landings with a reduced thermal signature. The first flight is scheduled for 2027, with the first deliveries set for 2030.


This first appearance at Eurosatory will give AURA M the opportunity to engage with the armed forces, government agencies, contracting authorities, and industrial partners to discuss an approach focused
on sovereignty, industrial responsiveness, and adaptation to operational needs.
