Welcome to the WARA PS Demonstration Week 2026!
On the theme “Stronger together – for a safer future”, WARA PS Demonstration Week 2026 showcases how Swedish research, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration contribute to strengthening total defence — while connecting partners across the Nordics and beyond.
Experience how cutting-edge technologies move from research to integrated, real-world demonstrations in complex environments. Across all domains — air, ground, maritime, underground, cyber and space — you will see how autonomous systems, human–AI collaboration, and distributed solutions work together to create resilient and trustworthy capabilities.
Join researchers, industry, authorities, and end users in Västervik — a leading test site for scalable public safety innovation — and be part of shaping the future of collaborative, robust, and operational AI systems.
