Where military meets industry and science

AMW UAV Forum is the first edition of Gazeta Morska's drone forum in Poland, dedicated to the development and integration of multi-domain unmanned systems. The event brings together military experts, defence industry representatives, the scientific community and public administration, creating a unique space for the exchange of knowledge, experience and perspectives.

The Forum is a platform for in-depth debate about contemporary uses of unmanned systems in operational, technological and social dimensions. The programme provides a comprehensive view of real-world applications of UAV, UGV and USV — including lessons from current armed conflicts, analyses of their effectiveness, production scaling and integration with other combat systems.

At the centre of attention is the development of multi-domain system concepts and the system-of-systems approach, enabling cooperation between platforms operating in air, land and sea domains. A significant part of the discussion is the growing role of artificial intelligence, autonomy and the shortening of decision-making chains in modern operations.

The Forum also tackles countering threats posed by unmanned systems — including the development of counter-UAV technologies and critical infrastructure protection. Discussion covers technological, operational and economic aspects of threat detection and neutralization.

Equally important is the social dimension of the drone revolution — covering civilian applications, the use of unmanned systems by public services, and the legislative and competence-related challenges faced by the state and institutions.

AMW UAV Forum is not just a conference — above all it is a space for shaping the direction of technology development, strengthening cross-sector cooperation and working out future solutions in the unmanned systems area in Poland and Europe. A space that inaugurates a new initiative integrating the unmanned community around shared challenges and development opportunities.

01

Unmanned systems

Analysis of multi-domain integration of UAV, UGV and autonomous systems in the context of contemporary conflicts and security challenges.

02

Counter-UAV defence

Detection, tracking and neutralization systems for unmanned vehicles — protection of critical infrastructure and public space.

03

Dual-use and security

Dual-use technologies — from military to civilian services. Legal, regulatory and development-strategy aspects.

04

4 expert panels

A full day of debates led by leading analysts and practitioners from the front line of the security debate.

05

Military · industry · science · space

We shape real decisions by showing the essence of synergy between military personnel, industry and academia.

06

Strategic report

Conclusions from AMW UAV Forum will form the basis of the report „The Future of Unmanned Systems in Poland".

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS

Strategic report
„The Future of Unmanned Systems"

We invite participants and experts to co-create the report summarizing AMW UAV Forum. A practical, operational document based on real combat experience and unmanned technology deployments. It combines perspectives of the military, industry, academia and administration. The report goes beyond diagnosis — it contains concrete recommendations supporting decision-making in Poland.

01 · CHARAKTER

Practical and operational

Based on real combat experience and unmanned technology deployments. Practice that can be applied in strategic decisions.

02 · PERSPEKTYWA

Military · industry · academia · administration

Four perspectives in one document. A picture no single environment can deliver alone — each sees only its slice.

03 · REKOMENDACJE

Concrete directions

Not just diagnosis — concrete recommendations supporting decision-making and operational capability development in Poland.

04 · SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS

Domain integration

A holistic view — integration of air, land, sea and space domains. Unmanned platforms as part of a broader ecosystem.

05 · AI & AUTONOMIA

Trends reshaping the sector

The growing role of AI and autonomy in UAV/UGV/USV systems. Analysis of the current state and a 3–5 year outlook.

06 · KNOWLEDGE BASE

Reference document

Not just a forum summary, but a document used in strategic discussions and public procurement processes.

*preliminary dates — to be confirmed · submissions by mid-May · publication by end of June
