Uncrewed Naval Systems - Agenda

Defence iQ is pleased to share the Uncrewed Naval Systems 2025 agenda, offering a clear snapshot of the discussions, priorities, and capability challenges explored during last year’s iteration in London. The 2025 programme brought together autonomy specialists, operators, and technical decision-makers to examine how uncrewed and autonomous systems are reshaping maritime operations — from ISR and mine-countermeasures to anti-submarine warfare and complex search-and-rescue missions. It provided an in-depth look at the evolving threat landscape and the rapidly advancing requirements driving uncrewed system adoption across modern fleets.

As we look ahead to Uncrewed Naval Systems 2026, taking place 6–7 October in Tróia, Portugal, the insights from last year set the foundation for an even more forward-leaning, mission-driven agenda. The upcoming edition will build on those themes while expanding the focus toward integration, experimentation outputs, and the technologies being trialled across the maritime environment during REPMUS 2026.

Downloading the 2025 agenda gives prospective attendees a strong indication of the depth, relevance, and technical focus they can expect from the 2026 programme.
