Land Warfare Europe 2026 will examine the changing requirements of modern combat, focusing on integrated land capability, ground-based air defence, and regional deterrence. The conference will explore how lessons from recent conflicts have influenced armoured warfare, precision strike, unmanned systems, communications, and battlefield survivability.
With the growing importance of cost-effective air defence, remotely controlled systems, integrated fires, and resilient communications, the event will focus on how Eastern European forces are adapting their capabilities to meet evolving operational challenges.
Returning in official collaboration with the Lithuanian Army, Land Warfare Europe 2026 will bring together national armies, NATO commands and agencies, and industry representatives for two days of presentations, discussions, and networking focused on the future of land warfare.
