This event serves as a vital intersection for NATO Subject Matter Experts and global industry pioneers to align on the next generation of aerial defense. The 2026 summit is dedicated exclusively to Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) with the goal of catalyzing the development of interoperable, mission-ready technologies that provide NATO and its allies with a decisive edge against increasingly sophisticated aerial threats.
During the two-day-long event, through a curated program of high-level panels, technical briefings, and live demonstrations, all attendees will explore the end-to-end C-UAS kill chain. The curriculum emphasizes the advancement of detection and identification through multi-sensor integration, the necessity of tracking to maintain persistence in contested environments, and the strategic deployment of both kinetic and non-kinetic effects for mitigation and neutralization.
