It was announced that seven countries - Estonia, Belgium, Spain, Latvia, France, Germany and Finland - signed an agreement for the development of modular unmanned ground systems; Estonia is to be the lead country for the project. The participating countries are planning to use a total of EUR30.6 million from the European Defence Fund, to which the countries will add their co-funding, promising that the first system prototype will be demonstrated in 2021.

An unmanned ground vehicle, along with a command and control system, a cyber defence solution and an integrated network of sensors will be developed within the framework of the project.

With this in mind, SMi Group are pleased to have Lieutenant Colonel Sten Allik, Senior Staff Officer/Future Solutions, Estonian Defence Forces, presenting on day two of this year's event, to provide attendees with insights on how Estonia are leading the way in RAS development.

Lieutenant Colonel Sten Allik will offer a discussion on the 'Estonian Approach to Enhance Manoeuvrability and Lethality of Light Infantry with RAS', covering:

o Overview of Estonian RAS program
o Mixing manned and unmanned - examples of use cases
o RAS implications on TTP-s - challenges and preliminary outcomes
