Redwire took part in key defense industry events in Riga, Latvia including the NATO Innovation Range Demo Day and Drone Summit 2026. At the NATO Innovation Range Demo Day, organized by the State Centre for Defence Logistics and Procurement and the Ministry of Defence, Redwire delivered a continuous 3.5-hour aerial surveillance feed at 600 m AGL using its Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL platform equipped with an Octopus E140 payload, providing persistent situational awareness in an operational environment. The following day, Drone Summit 2026 gathered 20 countries and 116 companies including policymakers and industry stakeholders to discuss future drone technology and autonomous systems.
