INTEGRATING UNCREWED & AUTONOMOUS
SYSTEMS INTO MODERN NAVAL FLEETS
SYSTEMS INTO MODERN NAVAL FLEETS
15-16 July, 2025| Copthorne Tara Hotel, Kensington, London, UK
INTEGRATING UNMANNED & AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS ACROSS THE MARITIME DOMAIN
Uncrewed Naval Systems (UNS) are becoming indispensable for modern navies, addressing the rapidly escalating geopolitical threats and challenges in regions such as the Indo-Pacific, North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
In response to this dynamic and volatile geopolitical landscape, UNS 2025 will explore the deployment of these systems to enhance capabilities in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, mine-countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue (SAR) operations.
With the market demand for platforms like uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) projected to soar from $1.1 billion in 2024 to $2.5 billion by 2034, driven by technological advancements and evolving defense strategies, the need for uncrewed naval platforms, sensors, navigation systems, and artificial intelligence is at an all-time high.
Join us at UNS 2025, the premier event to accelerate global collaboration and innovation in uncrewed naval systems.
