the Group’S vAlueS Give concrete expreSSion to thiS commitment

reliAbility & prAGmAtiSmThe ECA Group provides intelligent safety and response systems and equipment, with high technological added-value, designed for use in hostile and restricted environments for civil and defence applications. Specialising in robotics and automatic control systems, its solutions reduce the risk of exposure to personnel in danger zones.

innovAtion & technicAl expertiSeSince its creation in 1936, the ECA Group has continuously innovated to provide its customers with effective solutions that are more and more comprehensive. Understanding the core business of its customers enables the ECA Group to anticipate their needs: modularity, reduced pro-duction and maintenance costs, integration and interoperability of solutions, data processing, training, simulation, etc

cooperAtion & pArtnerShipSThe ECA Group forges commercial or technological partnerships with numerous companies worldwide enabling them to improve their technological solutions and increase their distribution globally. The acquisition of companies with high technological potential and appreciated by their customers is also a key factor in the growth of the Group. Knowledge sharing as well as commercial or technological synergies between companies greatly contribute to the success of the ECA Group.

beyond borderSWith an excellent reputation around the world, the ECA Group continues to develop new ideas and solutions for its customers, and to geographically extend the distribution of these solutions. Crossing cultural, geographic or technological borders is an integral part of the ECA Group’s culture.

for over 70 yeArS, the ecA Group hAS developed compre-henSive SolutionS deSiGned for nAvAl, lAnd And Air defence, homelAnd Security And SpeciAl forceS. The ECA Group offers comprehensive and completely integrated solutions, proven in combat, and deployed by French forces for surveillance, detection, inspection, rapid response and counteraction missions. The robotic solutions offered by the ECA Group are based on a complete range of air, land and sea drones that can be either remote-controlled or autonomous. Interoperable, equipped with the best high-performance sensors, and able to process data in real-time, these drones are the basis for solutions used to rapidly and efficiently identify and neutralise risks.The ECA Group also offers a range of submarine systems as well as equipment for ships, land vehicles and aircraft. Finally, the ECA Group supplies its customers with a set of solutions for training personnel in driving proficiency or specialised missions based on a complete range of simulators available worldwide.

with the development of asymmetric conflicts, threats change and the boundaries between armies and homeland security evolve. Moreover, budgetary considerations as well as ensuring the safety of these forces encourage decisions that reduce their exposure. the eCA Group meets these challenges with solutions using state-of-the-art robotics and advanced automatic control systems that multiply the strength of forces while at the same limits their exposure in high-risk areas.
