EDI Starts Summer 2026 Off Strong at Eurosatory in Paris

ExecDefense USA started the summer at the EuroSatory trade show in Paris— the world’s largest land-defense exhibition. Our team of sales and tactical experts talked with attendees about EDI’s wide and expanding array of body armor, counter-UAS devices, and crowd-control gear, including our top-of-the-line riot helmets.

With the rise of female service members in defense operations, attendees were especially interested in EDI’s female-cut bullet resistant vests. Designed to fit the female body, this EDI-USA ballistic vest, tested to level III-A (ambient) protection standards, is ergonomically optimized for female military personnel to maximize mobility & flexibility during tactical operations.

With civil unrest on the rise around the globe, law enforcement has had steady need for top-of-the-line crowd-control solutions, and this was evident in attendees’ interest in EDI’s lines of handcuffs, leg-cuffs, and restraints as well as our high-resistance riot helmets. Expo-goers particularly showed a lot of interest in our popular X707 Chain Handcuff model, which is tested up to 0307.01 NIJ standards for durability and corrosion resistance, as well as our Terminator-X Riot Helmet.

As industry news outlets have noted, the unmanned aircraft revolution and rapid expansion of counter-UAS technology has been a defining change in the defense landscape. This was on full display at various Eurosatory events, and also at EDI’s display booth.

EDI’s new line of C-UAS / drone-detection devices got lots of attention and interest among visitors to our booth. In particular, our Model 4 Wearable Drone Detector with built-in video feed drew lots of questions and comments from attendees.

Whatever space you operate in within the defense world, EDI has protective gear and cutting-edge technology to serve your team’s needs. Our team of manufacturing and sales experts are happy to work with you on tailor-fitting our offerings to your country’s unique situation.

EDI-USA at 2026 FDIC Expo in Indianapolis

ExecDefense USA had a strong showing at the FDIC Expo in Indianapolis. Our team of tactical gear and sales experts talked with hundreds of attendees about EDI’s wide and expanding array of firefighter-specific body armor, including our top-of-the-line FIRE ballistic helmets and FIRE ballistic vests, which were popular with expo-goers.

The FDIC expo, hosted by Clarion Events, has been running since 1929— that’s 97 years!

With the rise of violent crime and evolving warfare tactics in recent years, even non-LEO first responders increasingly face ballistic threats, in addition to fire and environmental threats, during prevention, rescue, and fire suppression operations. EDI’s specially designed FIRE ballistic helmets (MICH-style), FIRE vests, and FIRE plate carriers attracted a lot of attention. The FIRE ballistic vest in particular—featuring four gear pouches and two radio straps— are tested to NIJ Level III-A ballistic resistance, protecting the user from .357 SIG and .44 Magnum ammo.

In addition, our newest Rifle Resistant Ballistic Helmet was a top wish-list item for many departments who have been in the line of fire from rifle threats.

Both tactical and ballistic safety are becoming increasingly important for firefighters and other emergency first responders across the US and around the world.

EDI’s booth at FDIC exhibited a wide array of our ballistic helmets, ballistic vests, and plate carriers custom-made and -designed for firefighters and other EFRs operating in atypical situations.

Our team enjoyed meeting and talking with members of the emergency first responder communities at FDIC this April, and we look forward to another year of working together with our men and women in uniform to keep personnel safe and secure as they protect us.
