Loitering Munitions Conference 2025

The world's only conference dedicated to the development, testing, acquisition and integration of loitering munitions

November 18-19, 2025 - London, United Kingdom

Returning for the second year, the Loitering Munitions Conference is the only forum built exclusively to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities within the loitering munitions field.

With insights from senior leadership, operators & acquisition professionals at both a sovereign and alliance wide level, attendees will hear directly from those pioneering LM development and integration in one forum across the event. Whether as a speaker, industry partner or delegate, we look forward to welcoming you to this vital gathering dedicated to the technologies defining modern warfare.

Designed for real impact, the two-day event includes structured networking, post-conference receptions, and exclusive access to senior leaders, operators, and acquisition decision-makers driving the future of precision strike.

Whether you're attending as a delegate, speaker, or sponsor - this is where the LM community connects.

Why You Should Attend

  • Refine Your Strategy with Firsthand Insights - Hear directly from military leaders and OEMs shaping LM operations in Ukraine - giving you a clearer understanding of your own capability needs.
  • Stay Ahead of the Curve with Global Benchmarking - Compare your approach with top-tier LM programs from the US, Germany, Estonia, Poland, and more - ensuring you stay competitive and informed.
  • Discover Next-Gen Solutions in One Place - Explore the latest technologies from major industry players, emerging innovators, and critical component suppliers - all under one roof.
  • Align Your Projects with Global Procurement Priorities - Understand where NATO and allied forces are investing in LM systems-so you can position your solutions where they're needed most.

This year's agenda tackles the urgent challenges facing military and industry stakeholders alike-from embedding LMs into doctrine and force structure to scaling industrial production and reforming procurement for high-impact, cost-effective systems.

As Ukraine continues to demonstrate the operational relevance of LMs at scale, the need to address sustainment, lifecycle management, and long-term stockpiling has never been more critical.

Whether you're driving acquisition, supporting deployment, or innovating at the tactical edge, this conference offers unmatched access to senior leadership, global case studies, and the conversations shaping Europe's rearmament and future force readiness.

Join us in London to stay ahead of the curve - and help define the next phase of loitering munitions integration.
