“Live Firing Show 2027”

Demonstrations show capability. Testing reveals limitations. Decisions require both.

Organized by Gynybos paramos fondas / National Defence Foundation
in partnership with Reserve Associations, the Lithuanian Armed Forces, the Lithuanian Riflemen’s Union, and major Lithuanian defence industry associations.

Live Firing Show is a unique platform where defence technologies are evaluated not through presentations, but through operational reality.

technologies are not presented

– they are tested

discussions do not end in theory 

– they lead to decisions

risks are not hidden

– they are identified before commitment

Mission-Based Scenarios

No product showcases — real operational challenges:

  • counter-UAS / anti-drone defence
  • ISR → decision → action cycle
  • logistics under contested conditions

Every solution is evaluated based on one question: does it solve the problem?

After Action Review (AAR)

After each scenario:

  • what worked
  • what failed
  • where the limits are

Insights you will not get from a static demonstration.

Decision Layer (Closed Sessions)

Targeted sessions bringing together:

  • military end-users
  • procurement decision-makers
  • industry representatives

Focus:
what moves forward, what requires further testing, and what does not work.

WHO IT IS FOR

  • Defence decision-makers

  • Military units and operators

  • Defence industry

  • Investors seeking validated capability

 

Make decisions based on reality — not presentations
