How it was in 2025
Last year’s Drone Autonomy event by IRON brought together pioneers of the autonomous solutions market. Over the past year, the technology has made a major leap forward — autonomy is no longer limited to UAVs alone. Today, it spans all domains of modern warfare.
This year, we will bring together developers of cutting-edge technologies: guidance systems, swarm solutions, AI-powered target detection, and other tools that make autonomous missions possible.
