he Land Environment Working Group (LEWG) 2026 is Army’s primary engagement with industry. Hosted by the Land Capability Division (LCD), the LEWG 2026 will provide updates on current and emerging land capability priorities and investment plans within a collaborative environment. The event aims to strengthen partnerships with industry and provide opportunities for early input into land capability planning. The event is open to Australian companies with an interest in supporting Defence with land capability.
CAS 2026 is the Australian Army’s premier event. The strategic forum brings together Army leadership, industry, academia, and international partners to explore the future of land warfare, capability development and the evolving role of the profession of arms. The symposium is designed to facilitate meaningful information exchange and foster a dynamic contest of ideas that challenges the audience to think differently. Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition 2026 will run from 6 to 8 October at the same venue. The event serves as a critical platform for Defence industry stakeholders to engage directly with the programs shaping the future of the Australian Army and the broader Indo-Pacific security landscape. Further details on CAS 2026, including the confirmed event times and themes, will be announced at a later date.
