From wildfire suppression to flood response, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) incident management to cross-border disaster coordination, autonomous systems are transforming the capabilities available to Europe's first responders, civil protection agencies, and emergency management professionals. This track provides operational practitioners and technology developers with a shared forum to examine how unmanned aerial, ground, and maritime platforms are being deployed across the full civil protection mission spectrum and covers what regulatory, interoperability, and procurement challenges remain.
New for 2027, the track expands significantly into counter-UxS for civil environments, ground robotics for hazardous operations, and the specific cross-border interoperability challenges of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism
