COUNTDOWN UNTIL GLOBAL DEFENCE AVIATION 2025

 

Global Defence Aviation

Join us in 2025 for the industry’s leading annual event on rotary-wing aircraft, now rebranded as Global Defence Aviation (GDA). Taking place over 21 - 23 October 2025 in Warsaw, Poland, GDA will deliver a comprehensive focus on the future of aviation with an expanded scope that highlights the growing importance of Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).

This year’s event will explore how rotary-wing aircraft and autonomous systems are shaping the future of multi-domain operations. Discussions will delve into key topics such as interoperability challenges, advancements in AI and machine learning for improved data analysis and predictive maintenance, and cutting-edge sensor systems for enhanced situational awareness.

Attendees can also look forward to deep insights on crucial defence and security issues, from global threats like cyber warfare and terrorism to the latest advances in the United States' Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) and NATO’s Next Generation Rotorcraft Capability programmes.
