The 23rd European Radar Conference (EuRAD)
7 - 9 October 2026
On behalf of the organising committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 23rd European Radar Conference (EuRAD 2026), taking place in London, United Kingdom, from 7–9 October 2026 as part of European Microwave Week 2026.
EuRAD continues to be Europe’s premier conference dedicated to radar research, technologies, systems, and applications. The conference brings together researchers, engineers, practitioners, and students from across the world to exchange ideas, present the latest advances, and discuss the future directions of radar and sensing technologies.
The technical programme is organised around four major themes: Radar Phenomenology and Modelling, Radar Technologies, Radar Signal Processing, Algorithms and AI, and Radar Applications. This year’s programme reflects the rapidly evolving radar landscape, with contributions spanning phased-array and multifunction radar, passive and multistatic sensing, waveform design, mm-wave and THz systems, cognitive radar, joint sensing and communications, automatic target recognition, and emerging quantum-enabled radar research.
The applications programme highlights the increasing importance of radar across defence and security, autonomous and automotive systems, industrial monitoring, healthcare and biomedical sensing, environmental monitoring, and space domain awareness.
EuRAD 2026 is proud to host four distinguished keynote speakers:
• Prof. Marco Martorella – University of Birmingham, UK
• André Hanewinkel – Hensoldt, Germany
• Michela Corvino – European Space Agency (ESA)
• Phil Clarke – BAE Systems, UK
This year, EuRAD received 209 paper submissions from across the international radar community, demonstrating the continued strength and growing impact of radar research worldwide. The conference programme features more than 100 peer-reviewed papers presented across up to six parallel oral sessions and two poster sessions throughout the three-day programme. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, while selected extended papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies.
Alongside the technical programme, EuRAD 2026 provides excellent opportunities for discussion, collaboration, and networking across academia, industry, and government organisations. We also warmly invite attendees to join the EuRAD social event on Thursday evening at the Crowne Plaza London Docklands, located adjacent to the Excel London exhibition centre, offering an excellent opportunity to continue discussions and strengthen connections within the radar community.
We would like to sincerely thank all authors, reviewers, session chairs, sponsors, exhibitors, and volunteers whose efforts have made EuRAD 2026 possible. We are confident that the conference will be both technically inspiring and professionally rewarding, and we hope you enjoy your time in London.
