DPRTE 2026

March 25-26, 2026

Farnborough, UK

Connecting the Defence Procurement and Supply Chain Community

DPRTE 2026 is the UK’s premier event for defence procurement and supply chain engagement. Officially supported by the Ministry of Defence, the event connects buyers, suppliers, and policymakers for two days of networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration across all areas of defence acquisition.


 

Following the success of DSEI UK 2025, we’re excited to make our first appearance at DPRTE 2026, the UK’s leading defence procurement and supply chain event. Continuing our focus in the defence industry, this marks another opportunity for us to connect with the community and share our vision for rugged, mission-ready solutions built on the latest embedded and military-grade technologies.

Along with our trusted partner, Sarsen Technology, an industry-leading supplier of rugged embedded systems and high-reliability computing platforms, we’ll showcase cutting-edge hardware and solutions designed to meet the most demanding operational requirements. Together, we create solutions designed to deliver resilience, reliability, and performance at the tactical edge.

Stand 54 will be home to our most extensive tech-stack showcase to date – from the latest in FPGA, VPX and other board-level technologies, to defence-grade AI and rack-scale deployments:

FPGA

Explore cutting-edge FPGA solutions driving real-time, high-performance signal processing and embedded compute. On display: the Annapolis Micro Systems WILDSTAR SAF1 small form-factor Direct RF FPGA module and the BORA SoM from DAVE Embedded Systems, a versatile Cortex-A9 + FPGA system-on-module.

Avionics

Rugged, real-time avionics connectivity solutions engineered for data exchange in aerospace environments; here, we’ll showcase Alta Data technologies, including the ENET-MA4, a compact MIL-STD-1553-rated Ethernet bridge, and the XMC-A429, a high-density ARINC interface for robust airborne communications.

GPU

Featuring the GXA-1 rugged AI computer from Astute, EIZO’s NVP2000x GPGPU card and the next-generation Versalogic Sabertooth AI platform, we’ll highlight the latest in rugged, scalable acceleration for real-time visualisation and actionable AI at the edge. 

VPX

The VPX section will be home to Extreme Engineering Solutions and will showcase their rugged open VPX compute technology, including the XPand1004 development chassis, high-performance XPedite7770 VPX SBC and XPedite7683 3U VPX module.

Mission Computing

From the ultra-compact Ecrin NanoOnyx to in-vehicle computing, M12 connectivity and IP65-rated systems built with HIPER Global technology, our Mission Computing section will demonstrate our scalable compute and connectivity solutions designed for demanding defence and autonomous applications.

Rack-Scale

Pre-Launch Preview: HIPER Global US’ New 2U Tactical Server

Building on its early appearance at DSEI in 2025, we’ll have more to share on HIPER Global US’ new next-generation ruggedised 2U server platform. Engineered to meet stringent MIL-STD requirements, this fully customisable platform delivers uncompromising performance for demanding workloads, including ISR, tactical AI, and command and control. With modular expansion and a short-depth design, it’s purpose-built for the most challenging operational environments.

AI

Courtesy of our friends at PNY, we’re excited to showcase the DGX Spark, a desktop-sized personal AI supercomputer powered by NVIDIA’s GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. Bringing advanced AI out of the data centre and into the field, we’ll present how defence-grade, accelerated computing enables real-time inferencing, sensor fusion, and autonomous decision-making at the edge – delivering actionable intelligence where and when it matters most.

COM Express

A complete lineup of high-performance, scalable COM Express compute modules and carrier boards engineered for embedded defence applications. From high-performance Server-on-Modules to feature-rich carrier solutions, we’ll showcase the flexible, rugged compute building blocks needed to accelerate development and deployment across mission systems.
