Past event: Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems Conference 2024

Optimising Uncrewed Systems & Autonomous Capabilities for Future Ground Warfare

Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems conference is returning to London on the 8-10 April 2024.

The Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems Conference is returning bigger than ever in 2024. With the world less stable and the threat of conflict ever greater; the successful implementation and integration of risk reducing, yet tempo and mass generating robotics and autonomous systems is more crucial than ever.

With the increasing deployment of Uncrewed systems in Ukraine and more frequent tactical experiments with mission-capable UXS in NATO nations, the RAS community must prioritize the safe and effective operationalization of these systems.

With the new dedicated focus day and 4 separate afternoon streams, covering all aspects of RAS, the MRAS conference is, as ever, the best place to gain essential knowledge and insight from MRAS programs from across the globe, and where the capabilities, challenges and opportunities of these programs lie.
With a new focus on the implementation, integration, and interoperability, alongside the key areas of situational awareness, lethality, manoeuvrability, survivability, and sustainability, the Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems 2024 conference is the best place to fully equip you with the latest information from militaries and industries across the globe. Allowing you to take home and implement best practice amongst your teams and programs.
