Meet the Hornet Tailsitter VTOL: The Future of UAV Innovation
Join us for an exclusive live demonstration of the Hornet, an ultralight, state-of-the-art tailsitter drone designed for high-precision surveying. Developed by Ventus-Tech, this cutting-edge UAV is built in the EU and engineered for efficiency, carrying LiDAR, RGB, and multispectral NDVI sensors to support professional surveying applications.
Programme Manager, Alliance Ground Surveillance and Uncrewed Aerial Systems, NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA)
This talk will explore NSPA’s role in supporting multi-national UAS initiatives, highlighting its current systems portfolio and key operational platforms. We’ll discuss trends shaping UAS evolution across categories—from micro and mini to tactical, MALE, and HALE systems. Finally, we’ll examine industry engagement, ongoing collaborations, and future business opportunities within this dynamic ecosystem
Military analyst at the Air and Space Warfare Centre at the Royal Danish Defence College
From a triple-helix perspective, we will explore the key lessons learned from the war in Ukraine. With more than three years of full-spectrum warfare, the Armed Forces have undertaken a comprehensive effort to extract the most critical insights from the battlefield.
How has traditional airpower influenced the struggle for air superiority, and how has it shaped the operational environment? To what extent are drones reshaping theoretical and doctrinal frameworks? Are we on the brink of a paradigm shift, and if so, what could it look like?

Can Visions of Advanced Air Mobility Become Reality? A Nearby Case
Objective:
This interactive session will present a vision and case for implementing advanced air mobility (AAM) on a potential, central location in Denmark. We have invited key stakeholders and participants to discuss the vision and the first outline of it, in an open case-driven and facilitated discussion about barriers and opportunities related to realising AAM. The session will both offer a few short reactions to the case from and stimulate discussion amongst the participating leading experts. Join us for an engaging discussion of the future of AAM – starting from a local vision – to scaling internationally.
Sr. Technical R&D Manager, Advanced Technology Europe, Honeywell International s.r.o.
This talk will focus on the exciting progress that is being made on Honeywell’s Project OperA, a transformative initiative in Advanced Air Mobility. Focused on energy-efficient flight solutions and advanced autonomy technologies, the project is paving the way for safer, smarter, and more sustainable air operations in Europe.
Founder & Managing Member, Frontier Vectors and Baltic Ghost Wing Center of Excellence
In this talk James Acuna will present the “real, no-magic-trick” Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS) strategy, which focuses on practical, field-tested solutions for the detection, identification, and neutralization of drone threats. The strategy emphasizes scalable, modular systems, sensor fusion, and AI-driven threat analysis to provide operators with reliable, real-world capabilities for military, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure defense.
