“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
