Past event: Military & Government Unmanned Aircrafts & Counter UAS Symposium

Drone Systems and Counter Drone Technologies 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
  • Emerging Platform & Sensor Capabilities & Testing
  • Developing Counter UAS Sense & Avoid Technologies
  • Next Generation UAS Payloads
  • Major UAV Program Updates and Platforms
  • sUAS & Nano System Innovations, Growth, & Maintenance Opportunities
  • FAA Plans and Programs Status

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 UAS/RPA systems.
