CS GROUP’S PARTICIPATION IN NATO’S TECHNICAL INTEROPERABILITY EXERCISE 2024
The NATO Technical Interoperability Exercise (TIE 2024) took place from September 10 to 20, 2024, in the Netherlands. This annual exercise brought together over 450 participants from 19 allied nations and 3 partner countries, including Ukraine. Its main objective was to test the integration and interoperability of more than 60 counter-drone systems.
CS GROUP took an active part in the exercise, deploying a team of experts from its Plessis, Toulon, Aix, and CS Canada sites to evaluate the interoperability of its BOREADES C2 system. The event also marked the deployment of a brand-new L16 gateway integrated into BOREADES.

Throughout numerous live flight vignettes, CS GROUP demonstrated its ability to interface with SAPIENT-compliant sensors and effectors. The company also reaffirmed its leading position in Link 16 integration, thanks to its dual expertise in C-UAS systems and tactical data links (TDL).
In addition, a Performance Challenge was held, featuring blind scenarios with the system operated by military personnel who had been trained in advance by our experts. CS GROUP partnered with SAAB (radar), Blue Halo (jammer), Open Works (camera), and D-Fend (cyber effector). Five other teams also took part in the Performance Challenge, and the evaluator ranked our team well ahead of the competition. As a result, BOREADES was prominently showcased during the VIP Day.
This fourth participation in TIE was once again a resounding success and further reinforced CS GROUP’s status as a key reference in counter-drone interoperability. The company continues to deliver state-of-the-art performance and actively contributes to the NATO-level standardization of the SAPIENT protocol (STANREC).
