UAS Trends and Expectations – A Collaboration with the Ministry of Defence
The Institute for Central Europe is excited to announce a significant upcoming event this November, organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic. This event will serve as a forum for discussion on one of the most critical technological advancements shaping modern defense strategies: unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
As UAS technology rapidly evolves, the implications for defense, security, and broader strategic operations grow more complex. The November event will focus on several key aspects:
- Trends in UAS Technology: Exploring the latest developments in UAS design, capabilities, and applications within defense.
- Lessons Learned: Analyzing real-world case studies and experiences from recent UAV deployments, particularly within European defense contexts.
- Expectations and Needs of the Slovak Ministry of Defence: A deep dive into the strategic priorities, challenges, and requirements of the Ministry as it looks to further integrate UAS technology into its operations.
This event promises to gather industry leaders, defense experts, and policymakers, creating a platform for insightful discussions on the future of UAS in defense.
Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks, including confirmed speakers, event schedules, and registration information. We look forward to seeing you there!

They said about us
“Today, no country in Europe can pretend that it can solve problems on its own. Every important issue in Slovakia has a European context. I believe that ICE activities will be a good contribution to understanding and unity in Europe. I have known Martin for many years and I know how much he cares about Europe being strong in terms of security and Slovakia being a stable and reliable part of it.“
“With every European summit nowadays looking like a Shakespearean tragedy, bridging the gap between Western, Central and Eastern Europe is becoming a question of the survival of the European Union. In this cheerless context, the birth of the ICE is more welcome than ever. The Institute brings exactly what the current intellectual and political debates in Europe desperately need: tools and materials to promote better understanding across the continent.”
