Join us for the first edition of Global Defence Satellite, supported by DISC. Taking place over 2–3 June 2026, GDS will deliver a focus on emerging technologies, strategic partnerships, and mission-critical innovations driving resilient and secure space operations worldwide. Space is no longer simply an enabling domain — it is a contested environment in which nations compete, operate, and fight every day, and GDS is designed to reflect that reality.
The conference will explore how space-based capabilities across ISR, PNT, SATCOM, and missile warning can be harnessed at both tactical and strategic levels, and how commanders across land, sea, air, and cyber can better integrate space into their planning. From the rapid growth of LEO constellations and the increasing role of commercial providers, to the threat posed by ASAT weapons, chaser satellites, and daily cyber attacks on space systems, attendees will leave with a clearer picture of the challenges and opportunities that define modern defence space.
GDS will bring together leaders from government, military, industry, and allied nations to examine how national space strategies are evolving, how dual-use technologies are accelerating capability development, and what the next five years will mean for the character of conflict. If you are responsible for space policy, procurement, operations, or doctrine, GDS is the event for you.
