Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems USA 2024 Conference

Developing Innovative Robotic Capabilities to Ensure Future Operational Effectiveness and Advantage

July 8-9, 2024 - Arlington, VA, United States

We are proud to announce the 4th Annual Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems USA Conference on July 8-9, 2024, in Arlington, VA.

With the growing advances in robotic capabilities and the increasing threat of near-peer adversary technology, the US DoD is continuing to invest heavily in land robotics of all sizes to increase Warfighter lethality and remove the soldier from dangerous situations.

As well as bringing together the US ground robotics community, the conference will gather in some of the most dynamic and innovative international militaries to provide their unique perspectives. No other event in the USA offers the same number of opportunities to meet, discuss and network with opposite numbers from allied nations.

Reasons to attend:

  • Engage and network with the key figures behind these programs and meet solution providers developing and integrating cutting-edge autonomous systems.
  • Learn about the future trajectory of Autonomous Systems from updates on military robotic capabilities delivered by leading US and International Senior Officers and Program Managers.
  • Enhance your knowledge on a varied yet detailed range of topics including a unique emphasis on land-based autonomous system.
  • Listen to comprehensive briefings delivered by US and international speakers, including the U.S. Army Futures Command, the Ground Vehicle System Center, the U.S. Army Evaluation Center, DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory, and a range of frontline military organizations.

This is not one to miss!

It will bring together the leading US and international program managers, robotics experts and industry to discuss the rapidly expanding role of military robots within the modern battlespace.

As new opportunities and challenges emerge in this rapidly changing area, the conference will enable the military robotics community to work collaboratively to forge ahead and deliver the very best unmanned capabilities to soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Human-Machine Teaming
  • RAS Testing & Experimentation
  • SOF RAS
  • Military RAS Ethics
  • International Program Updates
