EGIDE designs electrically-propelled interceptors paired with Mystique, a hardware-agnostic software platform that uses distributed sensors and AI-driven detection to enable layered interception systems. The company emphasizes low-cost, scalable munition architectures that can be integrated across air, sea and ground missions and iterated rapidly against evolving threats. Founded in 2025 by former MBDA engineers Simon Calonne (GNC specialist) and Florian Audigier (pyrotechnical and warhead design), EGIDE aims to build a European leader in mass-affordable interceptors. The startup plans to accelerate engineering hires across propulsion, aerodynamics, warhead design and software engineering. Its stated ambition is to protect forces and critical infrastructure against large volumes of inexpensive and adaptable aerial systems. The recent €8M seed provides capital to advance interceptor design, production and the Mystique platform.
