The Military Robotics & Autonomous Systems Conference is returning bigger than ever in 2025. With the world less stable and the threat of conflict ever greater; the successful implementation and integration of risk reducing, yet tempo and mass generating robotics and autonomous systems is more crucial than ever.

With the increasing deployment of Uncrewed systems in Ukraine and more frequent tactical experiments with mission-capable UXS in NATO nations, the RAS community must prioritize the safe and effective operationalization of these systems.

With the dedicated focus day and 4 separate afternoon streams, covering all aspects of RAS, the MRAS conference is, as ever, the best place to gain essential knowledge and insight from MRAS programmes from across the globe, and where the capabilities, challenges and opportunities of these programmes lie.

“If you want to increase your knowledge and build your understanding of the complexities of RAS, this event is a must.” – Defence Futures, British Army

Rotary platforms remain a key asset for supporting operations on land, sea, and air. But due to the increasing distinct pressures faced by legacy rotary platforms of the Central and Eastern Europe states, NATO’s Eastern Flank faces a critical juncture for maintaining effectiveness across all operational capabilities supported by their fleets.

Therefore, our focused regional conference provides a unique forum to ensure the continued sustainment, cost-effective modernisation, and interoperability of helicopter technology in the region.
