Elettronica is presenting its new brand and logo as ELT Group at the Paris Airshow. The company adopted its Tenet 2030 long-term business plan in 2021, setting out its ambition to transfer and expand its historic electromagnetic spectrum capabilities from defense to other sectors, including cybersecurity, space, and biodefense. 
"Following Tenet 2030, ELT Group is evolving to respond more effectively to new technological challenges and increasingly complex protection demands,” said Enzo Benigni, president and CEO of ELT Group. “This evolution has been possible thanks to the deep expertise gained over seven decades in the innovative use of the electromagnetic spectrum through proprietary technologies and through continuous work in research and development."
In the space domain, ELT group in April successfully launched its first payload, Scorpio, for space-based signals intelligence collection on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Scorpio performs electronic intelligence activities and enables the interception, identification, and localization of terrestrial electromagnetic sources from space, exploiting artificial intelligence algorithms for information processing and classification. The first mission aims to collect unclassified data on maritime traffic.
During the airshow, ELT is highlighting the increased capabilities of its Anti-Drone Interception, Acquisition and Neutralization (Adrian) system featuring Cyber RF, which makes it capable of effectively detecting and reacting to new and more complex civilian and military operational scenarios involving threats by new-generation malicious drones. Cyber RF complements Adrian’s jamming, radar, and visual modules, further enhancing its performance. According to ELT, Adrian can now perform a full takeover of the drone to achieve a safe landing, avoiding impacts in the location where the drone is flying.
