A signpost for decision-makers, military, industry and academia

We invite participants and experts to co-create the report summarizing AMW UAV Forum — a publication aspiring to become an important voice in the debate about the future of unmanned systems in Poland and Europe. We are looking for expert articles, analyses, case studies and recommendations on technology development, operational applications, industry and regulation. The report goes beyond diagnosis — it contains concrete recommendations and directions supporting decision-making and capability building in Poland.

01 · CHARACTER

Practical and operational

A report based on real combat experience and unmanned technology deployments. Not theory — practice that can be applied in strategic and operational decisions.

02 · PERSPECTIVE

Multidimensional: military · industry · academia · administration

We combine four perspectives in one publication. We obtain a picture no single environment can deliver alone — each sees only its slice of the problem.

03 · RECOMMENDATIONS

Concrete directions

The report goes beyond diagnosis. It contains concrete recommendations supporting decision-making and operational capability development in Poland — at the regulatory and industrial level as well.

04 · SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS

Domain integration

A holistic view — integration of air, land, sea and space domains. Unmanned platforms are not a separate technology but a part of the broader ecosystem of national capabilities.

05 · AI & AUTONOMIA

Trends reshaping the sector

The growing role of AI and autonomy in UAV/UGV/USV systems. Analysis of where we are today and what changes within 3–5 years.

06 · KNOWLEDGE BASE

Reference document

The report is not only a forum summary but a stand-alone reference document — used in discussions, strategic papers and public procurement processes.

Report layout

The preliminary chapter layout mirrors the four-panel structure of the Forum, complemented by introductory and recommendation chapters.

00

Introduction

Why this report exists. Methodology. Notes on the authors.

01

Unmanned systems warfare

Deployments, industry, multi-domain integration. Lessons from current conflicts.

02

Multi-domain unmanned systems

UAV, UGV, USV as one operational system. Integration of land–sea–air–space.

03

Shield against unmanned vehicles

Counter-UAV systems, critical infrastructure protection, detection and neutralization.

04

Social dimension of the drone revolution

Dual-use, legislation, public services, state capabilities.

05

Strategic recommendations

Concrete proposals for government, parliament and industry. A roadmap.

Working structure — the final chapter layout will be refined with authors during editorial work.

Who the report is for

The publication is addressed to three audiences: decision-makers who will use it, practitioners who will find tools in it, and authors who can co-create it.

Audience

The report is aimed at representatives of the armed forces, public administration, defence and technology industry, as well as the academic and analytical community working on security and emerging technologies.

Why it matters

The report delivers up-to-date, practical conclusions and concrete recommendations that can support decision-making, technology development and operational capability building. It is also a knowledge base on key trends — from AI and autonomy to multi-domain systems integration.

Possible contributors

Experts and practitioners: military officers, engineers, technology company representatives, scientists, analysts, as well as representatives of services and public institutions who want to share knowledge, experience and recommendations for the unmanned sector.
