Unmanned systems are moving from promise to real-world operations – across defence, industry, and critical infrastructure
Unmanned systems are moving from promise to real-world operations – across defence, industry, and critical infrastructure
At IDS, we focus on what’s actually working: the technologies, use cases, and collaborations shaping the next phase of autonomous systems across air, land, and sea.
However development is expanding far beyond the air. On land and at sea, unmanned systems are working more closely together than ever before in offshore energy, maritime security, logistics, and environmental operations.
As you might know drones are no longer about standalone technologies, but about fully connected cross-domain ecosystem.
If you join us you will get to experience this use case development through our exhibition, conference and demo flight area.
On stage, you’ll meet leading voices from across the ecosystem, including
- Lincoln Parker, Defence Innovation Network (DIN) – “From AUKUS Policy to the Battlefield: DIN’s Rapid Delivery of Electronic Warfare and GPS-Denied Navigation Solutions”
- Oleksandr Liubimov, EKTOS – “Modern UAS warfare: Open Autopilots, Disposable COTS Hardware, and the Sustainment Trap”
- Jesper Frank, Blue Atlas Robotics – “The next frontier is underwater, the hidden drone domain!”
With exhibition spaces fully booked and the demo flight programme almost sold out on June 3, while June 4 still has some availability, demand is high. We therefore advise you to secure your ticket now.

Ultimately, it’s not just about the technology. It’s about the people, the partnerships, and the conversations that move it forward.
