We are delighted to announce the fourth annual Counter UAS Technology Europe Conference, taking place in London on 20-22 April 2026.
With the growing proliferation of small drones and UAS technology, European armed forces and security agencies seeking to protect critical national infrastructure at home and also forward deployed personnel operating abroad. The European Counter UAS market is constantly growing with new programmes and projects announced. There has therefore never been a more important time for European C-UAS stakeholders to meet and network at Counter UAS Technology Europe 2025.
Counter UAS Technology Europe 2026 will showcase the very latest technology in the market to ensure that European personnel, equipment and infrastructure are protected from the proliferation of drones.
Speakers will feature from leading European C-UAS Programme Managers, wider international defence organisations and the top industry providers.
Our approach sets us apart from other events. We're committed to providing genuine insight and meaningful learning experiences. Our discussions are led by expertly selected participants, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the latest developments from both industry and military sectors.
This three-day event is your gateway to interacting with key stakeholders spanning military, government, and industry, offering a comprehensive exploration of the sector's future. Immerse yourself in unparalleled networking opportunities at this conference.
