DEFENCE IQ
The Annual General Meeting for the Global Intelligence, Space, and C4 Community
5 - 6 May 2027 | London, UK
5 - 6 May 2027
Empowering Multi-Domain Superiority Through The Effective Utilisation of Defence Intelligence
Digital transformation, AI, cyber and space are now the critical backbone of modern military forces. As contemporary conflicts evolve, militaries are investing heavily in the strategic integration of space-based capabilities into multi-domain operations, providing essential intelligence, enabling navigation and precision firepower, and delivering beyond-line-of-sight communications to maintain decision superiority and operational advantage on the battlefield.
C4ISR Global Featuring Space Operations will bring together senior military commanders, government acquisition officials, C4ISR and space operations commanders, and industry innovators from across air, land, maritime, cyber and space.
With two dedicated streams on C4ISR and Space Operations, this unique event offers in-depth insight into how space, cyber and ISR assets are being integrated to deliver operational advantage across domains, connecting two increasingly interdependent communities in one conference.

What's New for 2027
Expansion of Space Operations Summit
An expanded Space Operations Summit will run alongside C4ISR Global, uniting senior experts across both communities. The event brings together senior military leaders, government stakeholders, programme managers, operators and industry innovators to assess the capabilities, architectures and partnerships required to sense, understand, decide and act faster across air, land, sea, cyber and space domains
Alignment With The UK Defence Investment Plan
As the UK invests £5.7 billion into cyber, electromagnetic and space capabilities, the conference will explore the key programmes for the next four years, including briefings on the Digital Targeting Web, Cyber & Electromagnetic Force, Project SKYNET and the new Integrated Air, Space and Missile Defence Operations Centre will give attendees a clear view of the road ahead in priority areas for the military.
Unlock the Latest Updates on Current Programmes
C4ISR Global and Space Operations Summit 2027 will explore the latest programmes across NATO and partners, including Canada’s Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar integration as part of the NORAD Mordernisation Program, Poland’s MikroGlob and MikroSAR programme, Germany’s Digitalisation of Land-Based Operations programme, the UK’s Project CRENIC and AUKUS’ Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability.
Collaboration Across Civil, Military and Industry
C4ISR Global will bring together civil, military, commercial and academic stakeholders to explore how closer collaboration can improve strengthen readiness to respond to emerging threats. With more interactive panel discussions, moderated debates and opportunities for audience engagement, the conferences will provide a clear view of priorities and opportunities for collaboration going forward.
