Land Warfare Europe 2026 will bring together national armies, NATO commands and agencies, and industry representatives to examine the development of integrated land capabilities, ground-based air defense, and regional deterrence along NATO’s Eastern Flank.
The conference will explore how modern land forces are adapting to persistent threats through the integration of armored maneuver, indirect fires, integrated air and missile defense, resilient communications, and uncrewed systems.

Drawing on lessons from the changing combat environment, the event will examine the increasing role of sUAS, remotely controlled interceptor drones, ISR, radars, communications, and weapons systems alongside traditional land capabilities. Discussions will focus on how these technologies and approaches are shaping requirements for survivability, precision targeting, mobility, and battlefield effectiveness.
Held in official collaboration with the Lithuanian Army, Land Warfare Europe 2026 will examine how Eastern European nations are developing land warfare capabilities through initiatives such as the Baltic Defence Line and East Shield.
