SDE Attending the Combined Naval Event

System Design Evaluation Ltd (SDE) is pleased to announce that we will be attending the Combined Naval Event (CNE) 2026, taking place from 19–21 May 2026 at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre in Farnborough, United Kingdom.

The Combined Naval Event is recognised as Europe’s premier naval and maritime defence forum, bringing together senior naval leaders, government officials, industry representatives, and international partners from more than 85 nations for three days of strategic discussion, innovation showcases, and high-level collaboration.

Across six dedicated theatres, CNE 2026 explores the full spectrum of modern naval operations — including fleet readiness, maritime domain awareness, shipbuilding and naval systems, undersea warfare, and evolving multi-domain challenges. The event provides a vital platform for organisations contributing to the advancement of maritime capability and defence resilience.

SDE looks forward to engaging with industry leaders and defence stakeholders at this important international forum. Attendance at CNE 2026 reflects our continued commitment to supporting safe, robust and effective defence capability through independent safety engineering and evaluation expertise.

As we mark 40 years of safety excellence, participation in events such as the Combined Naval Event reinforces our dedication to remaining at the forefront of defence safety, innovation and collaboration within the global maritime community.
