- Expleo to spotlight hybrid navy integration at Combined Naval Event 2026 in Farnborough
- The company will discuss how navies can align people, data and platforms to support hybrid fleet operations
- Focus includes crewed and uncrewed systems and through-life support
- Jonathan Taylor of Expleo says hybrid navy success depends on aligning people, data and platforms from day one
- The company will exhibit at stand F08 at Farnborough from 19–21 May
Expleo, London, UK, 15 May 2026 – Expleo, the engineering, technology and consulting company, will highlight its approach to supporting hybrid navy programmes at the Combined Naval Event 2026, where it will discuss the integration of crewed and uncrewed systems and through-life support for modern navies.
The event, taking place on 19-21 May at Farnborough, brings together naval leaders, defence officials and industry representatives to discuss capability development, readiness and multi-domain operations.
Expleo will focus its presence at this year’s show on the engineering and support challenges involved in bringing hybrid fleets into service, including the alignment of people, data and platforms.
VP of Marine, Space and Nuclear at Expleo, Jonathan Taylor, said: ““The conversation on hybrid navies has shifted in recent years. It’s no longer a question of whether they’re coming or what capabilities matter most, because they’re already here. The next challenge is to deliver operational confidence through readiness and resilience that’s built in from day one.
“Success depends on people, data and platforms being integrated as part of a single, operational system. When that alignment is missing, it results in friction at the point of deployment. It also leads to reduced interoperability, slower command decisions and greater vulnerability across the mission and support chain.”
Taylor added: We’re seeing a growing realisation that the transition to a hybrid Navy will be judged not by how many autonomous systems can be trialled, procured or launched, but by whether it can be sustained as part of a fleet that offers maximum operational advantage.
The Combined Naval Event 2026 takes place from 19-21 May at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre. Expleo will be exhibiting at stand F08.
