European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 2026

About European Radar Conference

European Radar Conference is an international radar research and technology conference scheduled for 7 October–9 October 2026 at ExCeL London, London, United Kingdom. What distinguishes the event is that it connects component and signal-processing advances with complete radar architectures and operational uses. The published format uses keynotes, reviewed technical sessions, short courses and workshops spanning radar science, engineering and applications. This structure lets participants follow the relationship between radar systems and architectures and signal processing and imaging, while also seeing how antennas and propagation affects real systems and programmes. European Radar Conference is relevant to space and aerospace organisations because radar supports space surveillance, Earth observation, navigation, defence sensing and aerospace situational awareness. The European radar conference should therefore be read through its primary technical identity, not described as a generic space conference. The current European Radar Conference programme remains the authority for individual sessions, contributors and access arrangements. For the 2026 European Radar Conference edition, the venue and dates establish the practical context, while the subject matter determines whether the meeting fits a particular team.

Event history and organiser

EuRAD forms the radar conference within European Microwave Week and brings together an international research and development community. Current information for this European radar conference is published by European Microwave Association. The 2026 meeting at ExCeL London, London, United Kingdom gives this European radar conference a specific setting; it does not imply that every earlier programme, contributor or participation condition will repeat. Its continuing identity rests on radar systems and architectures, signal processing and imaging and the specialist community working across those areas. The development of this European radar conference also reflects a wider shift towards antennas and propagation in aerospace and adjacent technical sectors. For European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 2026, European Microwave Association is the authority for current edition facts, while the linked institutional source provides context for the event family and organising relationship. This background helps readers place its work on radar systems and architectures within the event’s established professional community.

Topics and themes

The 2026 programme connects its central subjects through the event’s international radar research and technology conference format, giving each theme a clear relationship to the wider technical purpose.

• Radar systems and architectures: the programme connects signal processing and imaging with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by radar researchers.
• Signal processing and imaging: the programme connects antennas and propagation with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by RF and microwave engineers.
• Antennas and propagation: the programme connects space and airborne radar with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by aerospace sensing teams.
• Space and airborne radar: the programme connects radar applications and services with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by defence technology developers.
• Radar applications and services: the programme connects radar systems and architectures with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by postgraduate students.

Who should attend?

The European radar conference is principally for radar researchers, RF and microwave engineers and aerospace sensing teams. These groups can use its programme to compare work on radar systems and architectures with developments in signal processing and imaging, identify relevant research or suppliers and understand the constraints shaping implementation. Defence technology developers bring a complementary perspective where the programme reaches antennas and propagation, while postgraduate students may find value in sessions closest to their current responsibilities. The European radar conference is less suitable for unrelated general-interest visits because its usefulness depends on a defined technical or professional connection. Prospective attendees should check the current programme before registering.
