Full Spectrum Air Defence Week

Defending The Skies Against New And Evolving Airborne Threats 

Bringing together the most influential stakeholders from across the air and missile defence community, the vicennial edition of Full Spectrum Air Defence Week is returning to Hilton Syon Park, London, UK in June 2026. Now in its 20^th year, Full Spectrum Air Defence week continues to be the premier meeting place for industry, military, and government personnel to collaborate, share knowledge, and shape the future of integrated air and missile defence across domains.

In an era defined by rapid technological advances, dynamic geopolitical shifts, and increased defence spending, the need for Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) capabilities is increasingly critical for NATO and allied nations. Recent advancements in layered architectures and cross-domain interoperability are reshaping how nations are responding to evolving threats, from ballistic missiles to unmanned aerial systems and hypersonic platforms. The ability to detect, track, and neutralise advanced aerial threats remains central to maintaining collective security, and in this context, it is more important than ever for the IAMD community to share insights, and align on future priorities.
 
As nations invest in enhancing their capabilities, the conference provides a valuable forum to learn from recent experience, discuss current challenges, and develop future thinking. The 2026 agenda will deliver a comprehensive deep dive across detection, decision, and defeat capabilities. Covering a range of topics relevant to the changing battlefield, from directed energy weapons and counter-UAS, to countering hypersonic and ballistic missiles, next-generation radar and robust C2 networks, the 2026 event offers unmatched insights into the technologies driving developments in multi-layered and multi-domain IAMD.

In a brand new 3-day format, the 2026 event is designed to maximise networking opportunities and form lasting connections with key stakeholders. With a focus on the strategic, operational, and tactical levels, this conference will inform and shape the way forward across the entire spectrum of air defence.
