DWT Marine Workshop 2026 (Exhibitor)

MacArtney is pleased to exhibit at the DWT Marine Workshop, a key industry event bringing together stakeholders across defence, maritime operations and advanced technology development.

A platform for defence and maritime innovation

Organised by the German Association for Defence Technology (DWT), the Marine Workshop is part of a broader programme of events designed to foster dialogue across the defence and security community.

The workshop provides a structured environment for knowledge exchange, combining technical presentations, discussions and networking among representatives from industry, research, armed forces and public institutions.

With a strong focus on the maritime domain, the event addresses current developments and future requirements in complex defence systems and operational capabilities.

Exploring complex maritime systems and capabilities

The 2026 edition focuses on the continued relevance and development of maritime platforms, viewed as integrated systems combining sensors, communication technologies and operational capabilities.

The programme reflects this system-of-systems perspective, covering topics such as

• integration of sensors and mission systems
• communication and data exchange across platforms
• autonomous and unmanned maritime capabilities
• operational effectiveness in multi-domain environments
• lifecycle management and system sustainability

These sessions highlight how modern maritime operations rely on the seamless integration of technologies across platforms, domains and operational contexts.

Addressing future defence challenges

The workshop emphasises the need to adapt to rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical conditions, including shorter innovation cycles, increasing system complexity and the growing importance of interoperability.

Discussions explore how defence systems can remain effective and adaptable, balancing performance, resilience and long-term sustainability within increasingly demanding environments.

This aligns closely with broader developments in defence innovation, including autonomous systems, digitalisation and advanced sensor integration.

A focused environment for collaboration

The DWT Marine Workshop offers a highly specialised setting, enabling in-depth technical discussions and direct engagement between experts and decision-makers.

Participants include representatives from defence organisations, industry, academia and government, supporting the exchange of ideas and the development of collaborative solutions.

MacArtney looks forward to presenting subsea and connectivity solutions and engaging in discussions on reliable technologies for demanding naval and maritime applications.
