Balancing Mission Need, Procurement Reality, and Future Force Design for Maritime Patrol
This panel will explore how maritime ISR requirements can be better defined and aligned across naval forces, coast guards, and industry to support effective capability development and future force design — examining how to better integrate ISR capabilities for persistent, real-time battlespace awareness across hybrid and contested environments, the key challenges to achieving data sharing and interoperability across military and civil stakeholders, and how maritime forces and industry can balance rapid technology adoption with long procurement cycles to ensure ISR capabilities remain relevant to evolving threats without creating fragmentation across systems and platforms.

Modernising for a New Era: Modular Surface Warships for an Evolving Physical and Digital Battle Space
As navies modernise surface fleets to replace ageing vessels and upgrade existing platforms for an evolving threat environment, understanding the capabilities needed to sustain force readiness is critical. Today's combatants must be modular, mission-flexible, and able to integrate future technologies while delivering greater lethality within a hybrid fleet. This panel brings together perspectives from shipyards, weapons providers, combat management specialists, and communications experts to address the technical challenges of platform integration, secure and interoperable data processing across nations and naval commands, and how naval solution providers are helping forces handle sensitive data securely.

Event Information
Your Guide to the Maritime ISR & Surface Warships Conferences
Maritime ISR and Surface Warships are two of four leading naval conferences run in association with REPMUS26 — NATO's premier maritime experimentation environment. Co-located in Tróia, Portugal, the events bring together navies, coast guards, government agencies, and defense industry partners from across the globe.
Maritime ISR focuses on how naval forces can move from data abundance to decision advantage — enhancing ISR collection, distribution, and secure sharing across coalition partners in increasingly contested environments.
Surface Warships addresses the future of fleet capability — from modular shipbuilding and autonomous systems integration to the secure, interoperable data infrastructure that modern surface platforms demand.
Together, the conferences convene senior military leaders, procurement officials, and industry innovators to exchange operational insight and shape the next generation of maritime defense.
This event is at the Design Hotel in the picturesque Tróia, Portugal. It will be held on October 13 - 14, 2026.
Yes! We are proud to announce we are a 2-Star Partner at the event. Meet our team in the Exhibition Hall.
We also invite you to attend our two panel sessions featuring Virtru's VP, Customer Success & Partnerships, James Mills on October 13 and 14. See more details above.
Virtru enables naval forces and coalition partners to securely share sensitive data without sacrificing control. From ISR intelligence shared between agencies to platform data flowing across interoperable surface fleets, Virtru ensures that information stays protected end-to-end, wherever the mission takes it. Virtru is a leader in data-centric security aligned with ACP 240, a milestone for FVEY countries and allies in achieving data-centric interoperability and Zero Trust security principles to support multi-national maritime operations.
