Defence iQ’s Maritime ISR Conference is returning on 28–29 October 2025 at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, in official partnership with the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO). View the full agenda >>

As threats grow more complex across sea, air, and space domains, the two-day event will convene global defense leaders, naval operators, intelligence experts, and solution providers to advance maritime situational awareness and ISR capabilities.

With UKHO leading key sessions on data accessibility and reliability, the conference will spotlight the strategic importance of geospatial intelligence and ocean connectivity in modern operations.

Key themes for 2025 include enhancing ISR interoperability across NATO and allied forces. The conference will also cover leveraging OSINT, AIS, and underwater technologies for layered surveillance. It will further examine the integration of aerial, seabed, and space-based assets for holistic threat detection. In addition, it will address data reliability challenges through UKHO-led insights.

Participants will have the opportunity to gain strategic analysis from the new NATO ISR Force Commander. They will also be able to explore real-world ISR applications through expert panels and technical showcases, with the chance to network with defense stakeholders, tech innovators, and maritime operators. Attendees can also engage with live demonstrations from event partners in the networking zone.
