At NATO HQ, BPNE joined allies, industry peers and innovators to shape the next phase of counter-UAS: continuous experimentation, open architectures and faster feedback loops — and opened discussions on entering the LCI-X experimentation series in 2026 with a full sensor, effector and C2 capability.
BPNE took part in NATO's Counter-UAS Week at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, joining allies, industry peers and innovators from across the ecosystem — an event attended by the NATO Secretary General — to exchange perspectives on where counter-UAS capability has to go next.
The direction coming out of the discussions was unambiguous. Counter-UAS is about speed, integration and continuous adaptation: continuous, realistic experimentation at scale; open and modular architectures that keep evolving; faster feedback loops linking operations, industry and procurement; and readiness in both production capacity and operator training.
Counter-UAS is no longer a fixed product category. It is becoming a living capability, driven by rapid integration, real-world testing and constant adaptation to how threats actually behave in the field.
Alongside the plenary discussions, BPNE opened talks on joining the LCI-X experimentation exercise series during 2026, representing a full capability set — sensors, effectors and NATO SAPIENT-certified command and control — rather than a single point solution.
For BPNE, the week reinforced our focus on integration-first architectures and rapid adaptability. Strong momentum, strong alignment, and a shared commitment to building resilient, future-ready counter-UAS capability together.
