Amid the continued support and urging by the Secretary of Defense for more unmanned ISR aircraft in the field, billions of dollars continue to be directed toward both procurement and research and development of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs). The Air Force, Army and OSD have all significantly outlined their strategic path and roadmaps for UAS growth while the Navy and Marine Corps are ramping up their unmanned aircraft requirements, procurement and development. In order to meet these demands, UAS sophistication will need to continue to grow considerably, opening the gate to a flood of developmental opportunities in key enabling technologies – what role will your organization play?
This comprehensive conference brings together key officials and representatives from both government and industry that will examine the recent developments, most critical capability gaps, and likely future direction for unmanned aircraft systems.
- What are OSD and the Services’ roadmaps for Unmanned Aircraft Systems?
- What are the latest developments within all classes of unmanned aircraft including HALE, MALE/Tactical, and Small UAS?
- What are the latest COCOM perspectives for the UAS way forward?
- What are the latest user perspectives for Unmanned Aircraft?
- What are the emerging technologies for next-generation VTOL UAS?
- What are the latest UAS payload technologies and initiatives?
These and many other questions will be addressed during this outstanding event.
"We will continue to see significant (unmanned aircraft) growth for some years into the future..." –Secretary of Defense Robert Gates
