The year 2023 is marked by trade fairs, and IDET, the International Defence and Security Technology Fair, is no exception. The 17th edition took place in May at the Brno Exhibition Centre and once again confirmed its position among the most important European trade fairs of its kind. The event featured a comprehensive showcase of new technologies and options to counter security risks. A total of 551 exhibiting companies from 29 countries presented themselves this year, and more than 30,000 trade visitors from dozens of countries visited the trade fairs over three days.

Expansion of cooperation and new contacts

The fair is held with the support and participation of the most important political and military representatives of the Czech Republic. The largest exhibitor is the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic and the Army of the Czech Republic. The fair is visited by foreign military delegations and foreign ministries of defense for armaments. We were able to meet with our leading customers and partners and discuss important developments related to our complex electric propulsion systems, custom battery systems, and specialty electronics.

Ruppert composite technology

MGM COMPRO and Ruppert Composite achieved a great success in the mutual collaboration in the development of complex electric propulsion system (industrial speed controllers HBC, electric motors Rotex Electric, Accupacks, special airborne BMS, industrial chargers) for the Ruppert Composite’s own lightweight aircraft called Archaeopteryx. MGM COMPRO became a sole proprietor of the whole system.

This legendary aircraft is one of the lightest on the market enabling the pilot to maneuver in unbelievable angles and change the direction of the plane with incredible precision.

The electric conversion of the plane is called Archaeopteryx Electeryx. This version enables the aircraft to launch even in the flat areas and makes it really versatile – you can take off almost everywhere.
