In an era where contested environments demand resilient, secure, and interoperable communications, the role of deployable CIS (communications and information systems) has never been more vital. With NATO forces continuing to reinforce Europe’s eastern flank and modernise tactical comms, how can allied nations ensure battlefield networks remain integrated, managed, and secure at pace? SAE Media Group is proud to host the 19th Annual Mobile Deployable Communications Conference, taking place in Prague, 26–27 January 2026.

 

With participation from senior CIS leaders, programme managers, and industry specialists, Mobile Deployable Communications 2026 offers a crucial platform to benchmark national capabilities, assess emerging technologies, and build coalitions across the deployable comms community.
