The Latest Technology and Initiatives to Secure U.S. Land, Air and Sea Borders

IDGA is proud to announce its installment of unmanned events, UAV Summit West – a conference & exhibition. Due to the growing demand of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, UAVs, to carry out an increasing number of military roles, over the last decade it has become clear that they have a guaranteed future in our armed forces. The fleet of UAVs is the greatest asset American and NATO Forces have at their command today. Defense Secretary mandates and the Under Secretary for Defense Acquisition Ashton Carter are both spearheading efforts to increase UAV interoperability and implementation, as they are our most effective weapon against militants in the region. Now more than ever, there is an urgent need to develop ways to adapt developing technology and tactics so that troops have the best support to successfully accomplish their missions.

IDGA’s UAV Summit West will deliver a comprehensive overview of the requirements, emerging policies, programs, and methods involved in supporting operations in the Middle East as well as the new UAV challenges and developments being seen in the field, Warfighter perspective on Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs), and the latest in ISR tactics and technology.

The need for tactical UAV & UAS has never been greater.
