Loitering Munitions 2024 Conference

September 03, 2024

-

The Loitering Munitions Conference is a first of its kind forum built exclusively to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities within the loitering munitions field. Our collaboration with the newly formed NATO Loitering Munitions Working Group and extensive contacts from our MRAS, UAV, Future Soldier and C-UAS Portfolios will enable an unprecedented agenda and deliver otherwise impossible value to anyone in the field.

With insights from senior leadership, operators & acquisition professionals at both a sovereign and alliance wide level, attendees will hear directly from those pioneering LM development and integration in one dedicated forum across two days. Whether as a speaker, industry partner or delegate, we look forward to welcoming you to this vital gathering in November.

Attendees will be able to:

• Streamline their own development with unprecedented insight into world's most advanced LM programmes
• Make more informed acquisition decisions based on operational learnings from the front lines
• Witness the cutting edge in industry capabilities and pose questions directly to their manufactures
