Defense-Dronelympics

15.10.2025

In May next year, a new kind of international event will kick off with our first UxS Network Forum. We will be putting the technological capabilities and strategic skills of international partners to the test.

For the first time, not only individual companies will be competing against each other - no, we are inviting the MoDs of friendly countries to nominate their teams and companies for the challenge.
Over the course of a week, the teams will compete in realistic challenges - from autonomous deployment scenarios and networked sensor technology to resilience in the face of electronic warfare and secure data links. Readiness for deployment, interoperability, reliability, precision, efficiency and time-to-task are assessed.

National and international high-ranking decision-makers as well as representatives from the EU and NATO will be part of the event.
The associated networking forum will also bring together executives from government, armed forces, industry and research - with keynotes and curated matchmaking sessions. This creates direct bridges between users and solution providers.

Further details - including the program, conditions of participation and nomination deadlines - will follow shortly. One thing is certain: this will be a next-generation showdown. Be ready when the future of defense challenges becomes a reality.
