Military Robotics & Autonomous Systems 2025 Conference

Optimising Uncrewed Systems & Autonomous Capabilities for Future Ground Warfare

March 31-April 2, 2025 - London, United Kingdom

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.
