The NATO EOD Centre of Excellence (EOD COE) organised the 7th NATO EOD Demonstrations and Trials 2023 for two days on a biennial basis, in Bratislava, Slovakia in October 2023.

The leading theme was “Future EOD development in light of the modern conflicts and technological progress” as a challenge in the fight against terrorism. The event gathered 46 exhibitors from 17 countries and visitors from 24 countries. The two days event was organised to broaden knowledge about current and future aspects of EOD related technology, capability horizons and identifying the area of shortfalls.

CTRO participated the event and presented testing activities including new technologies to the EOD/IEDD experts, scientists, producers, industry, SME’s and end users. Mr. Milan Bajić, associate of CTRO, held a presentation on the topic of CTRO's work and the YOLO system - a deep learning model for UXO detection in thermal video.
