7th Air Defence Gp and The Joint Counter-UAS Office are holding a Counter-Uncrewed Aerial Systems (C-UAS) exposition to discuss current and emerging technologies and strategies for countering UAS threats. The event will seek to clarify current and emerging Defence thinking and funded programmes and provide a forum for Industry to represent their approaches. This will develop the knowledge base and help fuel discussion points for future lines of effort for C-UAS measures. The exposition will be for MoD internal stakeholders, Home Office, and Industry with the purpose of discussing specific topic areas in depth with the opportunity to demonstrate equipment.
The JCO and 7AD Gp invites expressions of interest from attendees from companies specialising in and/or supplying equipment relevant to these C-UAS topic areas:
o Detection – Active and passive
o Situational awareness
o Planning support
o Command & Control systems
o Effectors – lethal/nonlethal and kinetic/non-kinetic
o Jamming
o RF
o Novel approaches
o Generalist and specialist capabilities
The exposition will be held on 16th July 2025 hosted by 7AD Gp at Baker Barracks, Thorney Island, PO10 8DH. Attendees will be provided with a standard sized ‘pitch’ indoors, with opportunities for demonstration of capabilities outdoors, if required. Further details and arrangements for the day will be provided later when the attendee list has been finalised.
The exposition is not indication of intent to place future work with Industry – it is an opportunity for Industry to support the work of MoD and Home Office stakeholders. It will not provide any new information on MoD procurement which will be managed separately and in line with UK government legislation and policy, as relevant.
