The Pentagon’s so-called Golden Dome refers to a proposed, next-generation missile defence concept designed to protect the United States from advanced aerial and missile threats. Still largely conceptual, the idea centres on creating a layered, integrated shield that combines existing missile defence systems with new technologies, including space-based sensors and interceptors, to detect and neutralise threats at every stage of flight.

Ahead of the Full Spectrum Air Defence 2026 conference, the Interactive Market Report provides a data-led snapshot of the current integrated air and missile defence (IAMD) landscape. Designed to support informed discussions in the lead-up to the event, the report maps programme priorities, budget allocations, capability gaps, and emerging technology trends across key regions. Drawing on defence procurement data, recent operational lessons, and insights from senior military stakeholders, the report highlights where investment is accelerating, particularly in counter-UAS, layered air defence architectures, sensor integration, and next-generation effectors. Users can explore the findings dynamically, filter by region or capability area, and benchmark national approaches against broader allied trends. The objective is clear: to equip attendees with a shared understanding of the market environment before arriving on-site in summer 2026, enabling more targeted networking, strategic alignment, and commercially focused dialogue.

In this in-depth interview, Colonel Rómulo García offers a frontline commander’s perspective on how unmanned aerial systems, loitering munitions, and low-cost saturation attacks are reshaping modern warfare. Drawing on operational deployments, multinational штаб experience, and Spain’s evolving doctrine, he outlines why counter-UAS must now be treated as a joint, multi-domain, and fully integrated capability within NATO IAMD architectures. From layered defence networks and sensor-to-shooter timelines to the balance of kinetic and non-kinetic effects in congested environments, this discussion captures the real-world challenges shaping air defence today.

Modern air defence is no longer defined by platforms alone, but by the ability to sense, connect, and act across the electromagnetic spectrum. Ahead of Full Spectrum Air Defence Week 2026, Dr Thomas Withington shares his perspective on the evolving role of radar, electronic warfare, and C2 in highly contested environments, offering timely insights shaped by recent experience in Ukraine and long-term engagement with the air defence community.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of defence technology, Brave1 stands at the forefront, driving innovation and ensuring Ukraine’s technological superiority on the battlefield. In this exclusive interview with Chief Operating Officer, Nataliia Kushnerska, we gain insights into Brave1’s mission, key priorities, and the strategies that have positioned the organisation as a critical player in Ukraine’s defence tech ecosystem.

COO of Brave1, Nataliia Kushnerska took to the stage at Full Spectrum Air Defence Week 2025 to discuss countering the drone threat in Ukraine with limited resources:

• Establishing a C-UAS advantage against adversaries at a time of resource scarcity
• Brave1 rapid development process for countering reconnaissance drones
• Future strategies for anti-drone swarm capabilities, and required industry support to develop rapid solutions and technologies
