UDT Australia 2026’s theme of "Engineering the Undersea Future" reflects the need to accelerate innovation and translate emerging technologies into operational undersea capability. UDT Australia will prioritise conversations across four key sub-themes: Autonomy, Application, Agility, Human Factors. 

This theme reflects a challenge across Indo-Pacific's undersea defence community, while investment in technologies including AI-enabled systems, autonomous platforms, and distributed sensing continues, success will depend on how these capabilities are engineered, integrated, and delivered into service.

Join us at UDT Australia 2026 for a new line-up of subject matter experts and speakers creating pivotal strides in the undersea defence domain.
