VIRGINIA BEACH, VA — June 2026 — Lumenier participated in ADS Warrior East 2026, one of the defense industry's premier events focused on equipping today's warfighter with the latest technologies, systems, and mission support solutions. Throughout the event, Lumenier engaged with military end users, government stakeholders, industry partners, and defense solution providers while showcasing its latest FPV and tactical unmanned aircraft systems.
Held annually in Virginia Beach, Warrior East brings together organizations across the defense ecosystem to explore emerging technologies, strengthen partnerships, and discuss the evolving needs of modern military operations. The event provides a collaborative environment where government agencies, operational units, and industry leaders can evaluate new capabilities and exchange valuable feedback.
Engaging with the Defense Community
Throughout the exhibition, the Lumenier team conducted customer meetings, product discussions, and live demonstrations, providing attendees with an opportunity to experience the company's latest technologies firsthand.
The event served as an important opportunity to reconnect with existing customers, introduce new capabilities to prospective partners, and gather direct feedback from operators working across a wide range of mission environments. These conversations continue to play a critical role in shaping Lumenier's product roadmap and ensuring future systems remain aligned with real-world operational requirements.
"Events like Warrior East are invaluable because they bring together the people who use these systems, the organizations developing new technologies, and the decision-makers helping shape future capability," said Chad Daring, Business Development at Lumenier. "Being able to have those conversations face-to-face and receive direct feedback is an important part of how we continue improving our platforms."
Participating in the UTAC Demonstration
As part of Warrior East, Lumenier participated in the UTAC demonstration, highlighting an integrated system built around the NightHawk AttriX5 platform.
The demonstration featured the aircraft equipped with the Lumenier LokSight Target Locking System, Sine Engineering's resilient command-and-control link, and the integrated Kraken Kinetics Terminus payload system. Together, the demonstration showcased how technologies from multiple industry partners can be integrated into a cohesive solution designed to support evolving mission requirements.
Lumenier's participation reflected the company's ongoing commitment to collaboration across the defense ecosystem, working alongside complementary technology providers to develop interoperable solutions that can adapt as operational needs continue to evolve.
Beyond the Aircraft
In addition to its aircraft platforms, Lumenier also showcased several new mission support solutions designed to improve operator readiness and field usability.

Throughout the event, the team collected valuable feedback from operators and industry partners that will help guide future refinements and product development.
"The conversations we have at events like this are just as important as the technology we bring," Daring added. "Every discussion helps us better understand the challenges operators are facing and where we can continue improving our products to better support their needs."
