Submit an Expression of Interest to join Team WA at this international undersea technology event

Taking place at the Adelaide Showgrounds from 2 to 4 December 2026, UDT Australia is expected to attract 1,500 to 2,000 delegates from defence, industry and academia across Australia, the Indo-Pacific, and the global undersea technology community.

To support WA’s participation in this strategically important event, Defence West will host a small industry delegation to attend UDT Australia 2026. The delegation will comprise WA small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) whose products, services and capabilities align closely with the event’s themes and objectives.

Participation will provide businesses with the opportunity hear the latest insights in undersea defence technology, while strengthening industry networks and collaboration opportunities.

Under the theme Engineering the Undersea Future, the event will explore the critical need to accelerate innovation and transform emerging technologies into operational undersea capability. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage in discussions, knowledge sharing and collaboration across four key focus areas:

• Autonomy
• Application
• Agility
• Human Factors

The three-day program will include a two-day exhibition and conference, bringing together leading organisations, innovators and decision-makers from across the sector, followed by a dedicated industry visit.
