Full Spectrum Air Defence Week

The Premier Meeting Ground for the International Air Defence Community 

23 - 25 June 2026 | Hilton Syon Park, London, United Kingdom



23 - 25 June 2026

Defending The Skies Against New And Evolving Airborne Threats

In an era defined by rapid technological advances and dynamic geopolitical shifts, the need for Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) capabilities is becoming increasingly critical for NATO and allied nations. Recent advancements in layered defence architectures and cross-domain interoperability are reshaping how nations respond to a range of evolving threats, from ballistic missiles to unmanned aerial systems and hypersonic platforms. The ability to detect, track, and neutralise a range of evolving aerial threats remains central to maintaining collective security, and in this context, it is more important than ever for the IAMD community to convene, share insights, and align on future priorities.  

The 2026 Full Spectrum Air Defence week will deliver a comprehensive deep dive across detection, decision, and defeat capabilities. Covering a range of topics from directed energy weapons and counter-UAS, to countering hypersonic and ballistic missiles, next-generation radar and robust C2 networks, the 2026 conference offers unmatched insights into the technologies driving developments in multi-layered IAMD.

In its 20th year, Full Spectrum Air Defence week continues to be the premier meeting space for industry, military, and government personnel to collaborate, providing a forward-looking platform to explore emerging technologies, enhance multinational interoperability, and strengthen collective deterrence and defence.

Testimonials

A Word From our Attendees

For me, it’s all about meeting the people you wouldn’t necessarily come across if you were looking for them. It’s a great opportunity to start networking. There’s always someone new you weren’t tracking who has something you didn’t know you were looking for.

FSAD’s emphasis on real-time briefings and informed dialogue highlighted a strong commitment to advancing operational capabilities across complex defence environments. Echodyne welcomed the opportunity to engage with defense leaders and industry experts on both conventional and next-generation GBAD and cUAS solutions.

Senior Marketing Director, Echodyne

A fascinating event where officers engaged directly with engineers and industry partners to discuss operational demands. Through multiple interactive Q&A processes between the audience and speakers, multiple aspects and concerns of the contemporary battlefield were explored and analyzed. This format encouraged attendees to broaden their perspectives, enhance operational awareness, and deepen their understanding of current threats.

The main value is learning from the experiences of other countries and understanding how industry is facing the challenges. Having a full spectrum venue like this is a truly valuable way to exchange information and to grow at the same time.

Compared to an exhibition, the conference enabled more direct interaction with customers. We could feel that the conference is customer driven which is very important. Customers could strongly express their needs to the industry.
