Past event: UAS West Symposium

Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Remotely Piloted Aircraft have seen a golden age in the last decade growing to an annual budget of $7 billion. Most of this growth has been through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but with the drawing down of troops, what's next? Analysts still predict growth in this industry, estimating a total increase to just over $89 billion in the next decade. Not only is the military expected to sustain its backing of UAS technology, but the civil and commercial markets are poised to open up to a host of opportunities for the industry.

This exclusive symposium will be an invaluable opportunity that will enable attendees to obtain the latest information on the emerging UAS technical capabilities, needs, and challenges from key DoD, Government, and Industry UAS subject matter experts.
  • Emerging UAS and DoD Needs & Requirements
  • DoD UAS Joint Program Updates, Emerging Platform & Sensor Capabilities & Testing
  • Next Generation UAS Payloads
  • Major UAV Program Updates and Platforms
  • Developing Counter UAS Sense & Avoid Technologies
  • SUAS & Nano System Innovations, Growth, & Maintenance Opportunitiess
  • FAA Plans and Programs Status

This outstanding symposium offer the attendees invaluable information on the emerging opportunities in the military, commercial and civil markets as well as closely examine current programs and first hand experiences with UAS.
