Empowering Multi-Domain Superiority Through The Effective Utilisation of Defence Intelligence
C4ISR Global is returning for its 13th annual conference annual conference uniting 350+ strategic decision makers, intelligence innovators, and C4ISR experts from over 30 nations globally, to shape the future of multi-domain operations.
NEW FOR 2026: A dedicated Space Operations Summit will run simultaneously with the main programme, providing a focused platform to explore the strategic integration of space-based capabilities into multi-domain operations. Key themes will include Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Domain Awareness (SDA), and Space-ISR, reflecting the growing importance of space as an operational domain.
In alignment with the UK's Strategic Defence Review,
C4ISR Global 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 2026 will provide a platform for defence leaders and industry experts to engage in meaningful dialogue, share insights, and shape the future of multi-domain operations.
