C4ISR Global Conference 2025

The Annual General Meeting for the Global Intelligence & C4 Community

April 29-30, 2025 - London, United Kingdom

C4ISR Global is returning for its 12th annual conference, with a focus on future international C4ISR requirements, leveraging technological advantage and maintaining resilience across interconnected systems.

C4ISR remains a strategic priority for planners and procurement specialists and embraces a growing sophistication of technologies across the multi-domain battlespace. It is critical that the continued development of these systems is highlighted in order to help deliver clear decision advantage.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, as well as the unique challenges of planning for operations in the Indo-Pacific region, demonstrate the challenges of advancing operational capability, while considering interoperability with partners, sharing of standards and securing communications.

Examining a range of critical topics, C4ISR Global 2025 will cover those which are most relevant to the modern multi-domain battlespace and the future of both C4 and ISR.

Key Topics for 2025:

  • Data Integration Capabilities: The importance of gathering and integrating data to allow systems to influence decision-making and inform tactical operations.   
  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Leveraging AI and Machine Learning for predictive analytics, decision support, and autonomous systems.
  • Cybersecurity: Modern conflicts increasingly involve cyber elements, where C4ISR systems play a vital role in defending against cyber attacks and ensuring the integrity of military communications and command networks.
  • Multi-Domain Operations: Integrating capabilities across land, air, sea, space, and cyber domains to enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness.
  • Space-Based Capabilities: Enhancing satellite communications, navigation, and surveillance to support global operations.
  • Network Modernisation: Upgrading and securing communication networks to handle increased data flow and ensure interoperability among allied forces – mobile depolyable communciation


An excellent insight into defence leaders strategy and thinking on ISR and how industry is working towards solving some of the biggest challenges they face.
