BAE Systems, during its participation in the Farnborough International Airshow 2026, which takes place from July 20 to 24, showcases its latest capabilities in the air and defense sectors, including the Typhoon aircraft program, alongside its future technologies and customer partnerships.

The company's participation in the exhibition, which is one of the world's premier events in the aviation and defense sectors, comes at a time when security challenges are becoming increasingly complex, reinforcing the need for customers and partners to have reliable capabilities that can adapt to current requirements and future threats. During the show, BAE Systems highlights its engineering expertise and advanced technologies, as well as its close collaboration with customers and partners to develop solutions that meet their operational needs.

The aviation sector takes a central role in the company's participation, alongside its broad and integrated capabilities in the naval, cyber, and space domains. Visitors to the exhibition will learn about the latest digitally connected platforms, systems, and services developed by BAE Systems, most notably updates on the Typhoon aircraft program and its advanced electronic systems, which have proven their effectiveness in field operations, while the company continues to develop its capabilities to keep pace with changing operational requirements.

The company also showcases the role of training systems and digital technologies in supporting force readiness and enhancing their ability to counter evolving threats, such as the synthetic environment of the OdySSEy project, which enables training of forces in air, land, naval, space, and cyber domains within a unified environment, improving training efficiency and joint operations, while helping to reduce costs and increase levels of security and safety.

BAE Systems also displays the Nyan aircraft, a one-way attack drone representing the company's latest innovation in unmanned aerial systems. The small-sized aircraft is designed to provide precision strike capabilities in land and maritime environments.

The Farnborough Airshow represents an important platform for BAE Systems to engage with customers, government representatives, partners, and suppliers from around the world, discuss future defense capability requirements, enhance international cooperation, and explore opportunities to develop joint solutions that contribute to accelerating innovation, developing capabilities, and building more resilient supply chains within the global defense ecosystem.
