Prague puts autonomy, cyber and space on the same defence agenda

Event: 2026-10-21 / 2026-10-23 · Prague

Future Forces Forum will bring its main exhibition and conference programme to PVA EXPO Prague on 21-23 October 2026. The strongest reason to follow it is the combination of operational domains with specific technology discussions.

The programme includes modelling and simulation for autonomous systems, cyber activities, command-and-control, space security and robotic systems. For dual-use developers, that brings testing and integration into the same conversation as the product demonstration.

The exhibition dates should be kept separate from the wider week. NATO-related working-group meetings begin on 19 October, while the main exhibition opens on 21 October.

Three useful programme threads

MESAS’26 addresses modelling and simulation for autonomous systems across 21-23 October. Cyber sessions also span the exhibition days. Space-related security discussions appear on 22-23 October. These are different ways of judging technology: model its behaviour, protect its information and integrate its services.

Our editorial reading is that the most valuable discussions sit between those subjects. An autonomous platform still needs a test method and a command interface. A space service becomes useful to a security customer when its data supports a defined operational decision.
