Held on 29–30 April 2025 at the Hilton Syon Park in London, UK, the 12th edition of C4ISR Global brought together leading experts, innovators, and decision-makers to explore the forefront of C4ISR technologies. Topics covered included:

• Emerging Technologies – Insights into the latest advancements in C4ISR and their operational impact.
• Uncrewed Systems – Exploration of how aerial and ground platforms are reshaping surveillance and reconnaissance.
• Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning – Applications of AI/ML in predictive analytics and decision support.
• Multi-Domain Operations – Integration across land, air, sea, space, and cyber domains.
• Data Integration & Big Data Analytics – Enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency through data.

C4ISR Global 2025 convened over 300 senior defence leaders, government officials, and industry experts from more than 30 countries at Hilton Syon Park, London, on 29–30 April 2025. The event provided a dedicated platform to explore the evolving role of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) in shaping the future of multi-domain operations.

This official Post-Show Report captures key themes, speaker insights, and operational takeaways from two days of high-level discussion and debate. With expert contributions from NATO, UK Strategic Command, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other international authorities, the report reflects on critical issues including intelligence modernisation, AI integration, data-driven decision-making, and the transformation of ISR capabilities across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains.

Key features of the report include:

- Executive summaries of all keynote addresses and presentations In-depth analysis of emerging trends and strategic challenges in ISR Coverage of core topics including AI, uncrewed systems, resilience, and digital infrastructure

- Highlights from panel discussions on interoperability, ethical considerations, and future capability development

- Contributions from senior leaders across NATO, UK MOD, DE&S, the US DoD, and more

- Insights into civil-military integration, procurement reform, and coalition readiness

The report offers a comprehensive overview for those who attended and an essential reference point for stakeholders looking to stay informed on C4ISR advancements. It underscores the importance of continued collaboration, adaptability, and innovation in maintaining information superiority and operational advantage.

As more complex issues arise, more comprehensive responses are needed. Military branches can no longer tackle these complex issues alone but cohesively with other organisations (both military and civil). In order to make sure that multi-facet responses are effective, an effective C4ISR system is necessary, translating to several opportunities in the medium and long term for the industry. This market report summarises these opportunities in an easy-to-read document.

When facing a near-peer on the world stage, the one who can make the best decisions the fastest will hold the advantage. This decision-making advantage will be crucial as it will best use the available, if not limited, resources. Recognising this, forces face several internal and external challenges in achieving this, whether it be the challenges posed by massive quantities of data across domains that need to be processed or the activities and technologies employed by near-peers that try to degrade your decision-making capabilities. The US response to this is Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2), a strategy for combining sensors across domains, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and effectors to achieve decision superiority. On the surface, this strategy seems exactly what Europe needs in the face of a more aggressive Russia. However, challenges abound. This paper explores JADC2 and its applicability to the European context.
