Advancing Counter-UAS Capabilities to Confront the Threat of UAS from Homeland to the Battlefield
At a crucial time when the United States Department of Defense plan to at least $636 million on
Counter-UAS research and development and at least $75 million on
C-UAS procurement in 2022, the
Counter-UAS Summit will bring together senior decision-makers from both the Federal Government and the military to discuss key challenges, requirements and procurement programs.
The rapid proliferation of
UAS has been one of the most unsettling tactical advancements on the battlefield in recent years. Not least because of asymmetric engagement whereby the United States’ traditional air superiority is being challenged by non-state actors and adversaries. However, the use of
UAS transcends the battlefield. Indeed, the ease of acquiring UAS means that key decision-makers are grappling with the question of how
UAS can be integrated into the National Air System for beneficial purposes while mitigating the risk of the nefarious employment of
UAS.
To combat this threat while simultaneously staying ahead of the curve, cooperation and innovation will be vital and this conference seeks to ensure that thought leaders can confront some of these key questions and together, bolster the security of the US and its allies.
Our
Counter-UAS Summit will provide you the unique opportunity to network, connect, and learn from thought leaders and practitioners in this space.
We look forward to welcoming you at the
Counter-UAS Summit 2022 in Washington, DC!
