The 12th Annual
Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Summit will emphasize the integration of UxS capabilities into the multi domain operating environment as well as their use cases beyond the battlefield in support of DoD. The Summit will cover both strategic and technical priorities and emerging research to best support UxS utilization across the Services.
The 2024 Summit will provide attendees with an educational, 'Town Hall' style format to serve as a conduit for cross collaboration and the interchange of knowledge among military, government, industry and academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
Topics to be covered at the 2024 Summit:
- Ensuring critical autonomous capabilities are delivered to the Warfighter rapidly & affordably
- Countering near-peer adversaries through the Replicator Initiative
- Promoting autonomous technological growth & integration to enable fleet mission success
- Strengthening partnerships & accelerating innovation to enable full spectrum naval operationst
- Integrating unmanned systems & Ai into maritime operations

Why You Should Attend This Summit:
The 12th Annual
Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Summit will convene senior level experts and decision makers from across the DoD, Military Services, Industry, & Academia for in-depth discussions on the integration and utilization of unmanned/autonomous capabilities to ensure future mission success in the all-domain operating environment.
The Military Services have identified the integration and deployment of UxS capabilities as a key priority as the U.S. faces a variety of threats from rapidly advancing near-peer adversaries. Amid an era of strategic competition, DoD and the Military Services must accelerate the deployment of innovative strategies, priorities, and emerging research to best support the utilization of
unmanned and autonomous systems to maintain technological and military superiority on the future battlefield. The Summit will feature two panels, integrating unmanned systems & AI into maritime operations and developing & fielding C-UAS to address future threats. Attendees at the 2024
Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Summit will have the unique opportunity to examine the strategies, technologies, and modernization priorities critical to developing and delivering air/land/sea unmanned systems to the Warfighter.
The 2024
