Cortex EVO now with HALO

GALVION showcased the continued evolution of its Cortex architecture at EUROSATORY 2026 (Hall 5A, Booth G391), featuring the introduction of the HALO configuration for its Cortex EVO system. First introduced at SOF Week 2025 as a new category of intelligent, headborne systems, Cortex established a framework for integrating power, data and processing at the operator level. Earlier this year, Galvion introduced Cortex EVO, a deeply integrated architecture that combines protection, power, data and compute within a unified headborne system. At Eurosatory 2026, GALVION is expanding that architecture with the introduction of its HALO configuration—an externally mounted implementation designed to bring advanced headborne capabilities to both new and fielded helmet platforms. Together, the Embedded and HALO configurations provide a common Cortex EVO architecture, enabling users to access the same core capabilities through implementation approaches aligned with their operational requirements, procurement strategies and lifecycle objectives.

Initially available for GALVION’s Batlskin Caiman helmet system, with planned expansion to the Hellbender platform, the EVO HALO configuration provides a flexible implementation pathway that can be delivered as part of new helmet systems or integrated onto fielded helmets through upgrade and modernization programs. This approach provides a flexible, cost-effective route for organizations seeking to introduce advanced digital capabilities while leveraging established support, maintenance and sustainment infrastructure.

Central to the Cortex EVO system is GALVION’s AlertCentr software, which enables mission-relevant data to be delivered and managed at the headborne level. Integrated within TAK-based environments, AlertCentr supports configurable visual and audio cueing, allowing operators to access and act on critical information without diverting attention to secondary devices.

The systems demonstrated at EUROSATORY incorporate multiple capability elements within the Cortex architecture, including:

• Visual augmentation: TAK video, sensor feeds and navigation integrations
• Sensing and awareness: Detection and identification capabilities supporting enhanced threat awareness
• Audio and communication: Digital headset integration enabling configurable alerts and system-level interaction
• Power and data infrastructure: A unified architecture enabling scalable subsystem integration

These capabilities are enabled through an open architecture approach, allowing both Galvion-developed and third-party technologies to operate within a single system environment.
