Call for Papers will open in August.

In today’s evolving security environment, Allied and Partner forces face the challenge of processing vast, complex volumes of data from multiple sensors and Intelligence networks. Transforming this data into clear, timely, and actionable decisions is now a defining factor for mission success. However, technological innovation alone is not sufficient. Effective cooperation among Allied and Partner Nations remains essential to fully realise the value of data-driven operations, interoperability of systems, standardised data-sharing protocols, and secure communication infrastructures.

In its fourth year, TechNet Transatlantic continues to be the premier conference and exhibition for the US military community and its European partners. Organised by AFCEA International, AFCEA Europe, and the AFCEA Chapters in Stuttgart, Kaiserslautern, and Wiesbaden, TechNet Transatlantic aims to provide a strategic forum to discuss how innovation translates into battlefield advantage, supports decision superiority, and drives mission success in an evolving threat landscape.

The 2026 edition is designed to explore how new technologies can enable leap-ahead capabilities. From next-generation communication systems to cyber tools, sensors, and electronic protection, the event will highlight the most promising developments in C4ISR and Electronic Warfare.  Through high-level panels, interactive sessions, and hands-on demonstrations, attendees will be exposed to cutting-edge solutions and explore strategies to enhance operational readiness and gain a decisive advantage. Key challenges will also be addressed, including data security, governance, and ethical considerations in the deployment of AI-driven systems. 

The discussion will also highlight the importance of balancing innovation with resilience and accountability to maintain strategic stability. By combining cutting-edge technology with strong cooperative frameworks, allied and partner forces can accelerate decision-making processes, enhance mission effectiveness, and maintain a decisive advantage in an increasingly data-driven battlespace.
Join us in shaping the future of defence, ensuring that US and Allied Forces remain at the forefront of military capability and operational superiority, and honouring the men and women in the US Forces and its partners in the European theatre whose dedication underpins collective security.
