Enforcetac 2026: Europe expansion & Counter UAS

Last month, we exhibited at EnforceTac 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany - one of the world's premier law enforcement and defence events. Over three days, we connected with contacts from 20 countries spanning military special forces, federal and state law enforcement, border agencies, and defence industry across Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Norway, Latvia, Belgium, Portugal, and the UK. 

The response was clear: European market has an appetite for Operator XR technology.   

What We Demonstrated

At EnforceTac, we ran live demonstrations of two core capabilities for military and law enforcement: 

OP2 Tactical Training: Our immersive, VR training system for close-quarters battle, room clearance, and mission rehearsal. Our recoiling weapons drew sustained crowds throughout the show, creating an authentic training experience. 

C-UAS Training Module: Our counter-drone training environment, placing operators in realistic UAS threat scenarios requiring detection, tracking, and defeat decisions under pressure. European military intelligence personnel, defence agencies, and industry partners specifically sought us out on the basis of this capability. 

The Drone Threat Is No Longer a Future Problem

On 11 February, the European Commission published its EU Action Plan on Drone Defence — a policy framework signalling that counter-UAS (C-UAS) capability is now a pan-European security priority. The Action Plan calls for coordinated investment in detection, identification, and defeat of unmanned aerial systems across member states. 

Ukraine made the case first. What began as a conflict at Europe's eastern border became the world's most intensive live laboratory for drone warfare. Ongoing conflict in the Gulf region has since brought mass drone and missile employment into sharp focus, underlining an urgent and immediate need for effective counter-UAS training at scale. 

The threat is not theoretical. It is operational, and it is accelerating. Operator XR is on track to become the world's first untethered, free-roam C-UAS training platform, a capability that does not yet exist in the market 

Expanding Our European Footprint

Our European expansion has come with natural momentum - conversations are coming to us from the market, driven by current need. We will be back. And we are just getting started.
