The Military Robotics & Autonomous Systems Conference is returning bigger than ever in 2025. 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 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.
NEW for 2025:
Focus Day: Multi-domain Integration
The 2025 MRAS conference will feature a focus day on Multi-domain Integration (MDI), highlighting the growing role of uncrewed systems (UxS) across all domains-Land, Air, Sea, and Cyber. As UxS capabilities expand, integrating them will enable more coordinated and effective operations. Large-scale trials like Project Convergence underscore AUKUS's commitment to interoperability, resilience, redundancy, and cost efficiency, all crucial for achieving strategic advantage. MDI marks the next critical step in UxS development.
Enhancing Lethality Stream: The British Army aims to double its lethality by 2027 and triple it by 2030, with uncrewed systems (UxS) playing a key role. This session will showcase how allies and industry are advancing lethality through RAS, featuring insights from nations like Ukraine and Estonia, where the need for lethal UxS is urgent.
New speakers from several key organisations:
Including: British Army | Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering | US Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) | Defense Innovation Unit | DARPA | DE&S | US Army Joint Modernization Command | French Army | Royal Marines | Estonian Defence Forces | US Army | DSTL, UK MoD
Military Robotics & Autonomous Systems is the leading event dedicated to the development, procurement and integration of Uncrewed Systems (UxS).
Listen to keynote briefings from senior UK, US and allied RAS programme managers
Discover the latest topics for the advancement of uncrewed systems, including multi-domain integration, lethality, autonomy, mounted and dismounted combat and much more
Meet and network with the key decision-makers from both military and industry to discuss modernisation and optimisation of Robotic & Autonomous Systems
Key themes for 2025:
Multi-domain Integration
Enhancing Lethality
Pan-european collaboration
Excellent event for all who are involved with military robotics, autonomous systems, unmanned systems and questions around the use of them in military context.
If you want to increase your knowledge and build your understanding of the complexities of RAS, this event is a must.
