Callen-Lenz at World Defense Show 2026: Strengthening Global Partnerships in UAS Innovation

Callen-Lenz wrapped up an impactful week at World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh, where our team engaged with international defence leaders, partners, and customers to advance conversations around the future of interoperable UAS systems.

From the moment we arrived, our focus was clear: demonstrating how effective localisation, partnership, and collaboration with Callen‑Lenz can accelerate UAS integration, enhance mission readiness, and deliver real operational effect. Throughout the week, we welcomed visitors to the BAE Systems stand (H1.F14) to explore how we’re connecting platforms, data, and teams across domains.

High-Level Engagement and Strategic Dialogue

Day one brought exceptional energy, with strong engagement from global defence stakeholders and international delegations. Discussions centred on collaboration, skills development, economic growth, and the evolving requirement for interoperable UAS capabilities.

We were honoured to brief Luke Pollard MP, UK Minister for Defence Procurement, on our UAS portfolio alongside colleagues from BAE Systems and Malloy Aeronautics Ltd, highlighting the strength of UK innovation and industry teamwork.

International Partnerships in Focus

Our second day continued the momentum with insightful exchanges across customers and partners. A highlight was welcoming representatives from the Japanese Self-Defence Forces, strengthening our relationship and deepening our understanding of Japan’s future UAS needs.

Thank You, WDS

To everyone who visited Callen-Lenz during the week—thank you. Your engagement helped us forge meaningful new connections, strengthen partnerships, and build further momentum across key programmes. The commitment, professionalism, and collaboration shown by the entire team throughout WDS were truly outstanding.
