Event Information

Defence iQ proudly presents a four-co-located event, content-led maritime defence experience, exclusively in association with REPMUS 2026. Taking place at the Design Hotel in Tróia—steps from one of NATO's most active maritime innovation theatres—these events bring together the global naval community to exchange insights, shape operational doctrine, and drive capability integration across domains.

Uncrewed naval systems specialists will gain hands-on understanding of autonomous platforms, fleet integration, and multi-domain capabilities, while connecting with experts in seabed security, ISR, and surface warships to see how uncrewed technologies influence the broader maritime landscape.

Download the official attendee list to see the breadth of organisations and senior decision-makers who took part in Uncrewed Naval Systems 2025. From NATO, the Royal Navy, and the US Department of Defense to leading tech innovators and academic institutions, the event brought together the key voices shaping maritime autonomy.

Use this as an early indicator of the calibre of participants you can expect to meet when Uncrewed Naval Systems returns to Tróia on 6–7 October 2026.

To give you a sense of who you could potentially hear from and network with at the Uncrewed Systems Conference, download the attendee snapshot from the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Day, which attracted over 400 registrants and took place during the flagship International Armoured Vehicles Conference in January.

Join us at Uncrewed Systems to connect with top-tier military leaders, S&T specialists, and industry experts as we address urgent defence demands and future investments and capabilities in UGVs and UAS.
