Past event: Civil & Commercial Drone Systems and Counter Drone Technologies Symposium

The global small drone market will reach $10 billion by 2020 according to a forecast by research firm MarketsandMarkets - this reflects a compound annual growth rate of 11.6 percent from 2015. Drone manufacturers who to date have been feeding the huge defense market are being joined by an ever increasing number of non-defense drone developers who are targeting the potentially enormous markets for civil and commercial capabilities. The application opportunities seem limitless. However, to make these applications a reality, a range of specific regulatory, certification, insurance, safety, and management challenges must be met.

This comprehensive symposium will offer attendees a chance to interact & hear from key leading drone experts that are instrumental in making Commercial and Civil Drones in the National Airspace (NAS) advance ahead. The program agenda offers the latest information on government plans for drone integration in the NAS. Topics will examine the most promising high-value applications from industrial security and perimeter monitoring, border management, law enforcement, communications, search and rescue, disaster management, surveying, mapping - and beyond.
  • What is the way ahead for drone integration in the NAS?
  • FAA and future public safety needs & challenges
  • What is the state of the science in sense and avoid technologies?
  • What is the status of state legislation on drone overflight?
  • What are the emerging lessons learned from drone test sites?
  • Where are the real opportunities in the commercial market?
  • What are federal and state government market opportunities?

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 drone systems.
