A Conference-First Experience for the Maritime and Defence Community
In September/October 2026, Defence iQ, in association with REPMUS 26, will host a landmark gathering in Tróia, Portugal — bringing together four of its flagship maritime defence conferences:
- Seabed Security
- Uncrewed Maritime Systems
- Maritime ISR
- Surface Warships
Each event will retain its own distinct identity, audience, and specialist agenda, while running co-located to provide strategic synergy across the wider maritime domain. This is a conference-first experience, designed to prioritise content, collaboration, and senior-level dialogue — not an expo.
Four Events. One Mission. Complete Maritime Perspective.
This co-location delivers an unprecedented opportunity to understand and shape the future of maritime capability development — from seabed warfare and the protection of CUI and pipeline resilience to surface combatant evolution, ISR integration, and autonomous operations.
Attendees will benefit from:
Access to Multiple Conference Tracks
Gain insights across complementary areas of maritime innovation, while maintaining deep focus on your specialist interests.
A Combined Exhibition and Demonstration Area
Engage directly with technology partners and solution providers in an environment designed for meaningful technical and strategic exchange.
Joint Plenary Sessions and Cross-Domain Showcases
Experience thought leadership from senior maritime commanders, government officials, and industry innovators on interoperability, digital transformation, and capability integration.
Exclusive Pre-Event Experience with REPMUS 26
Participants will have the exclusive opportunity to join a pre-event site visit to the Centre for Operational Experimentation of the Navy (CEOM) — including guided tours of the hangar and testing facilities, and live demonstrations on the water featuring UAVs, UUVs, and other uncrewed platforms.
This hands-on, operationally focused experience provides delegates with a first-hand look at experimentation in action, setting the stage for richer discussions during the conferences.
Why Attend?
This is the only maritime event ecosystem that combines four targeted conferences, live operational insight, and cross-domain collaboration in one location — presenting the high-level data outputs and lessons identified from REPMUS. It offers:
- A holistic view of maritime transformation and innovation
- Direct engagement with the REPMUS experimentation community
- Strategic networking with senior maritime leaders, defence agencies, and industry decision-makers
- Deep dives into the technologies and tactics that will define future fleet readiness and multi-domain operations
