C-UAS & Integrated Protection Summit 2024

The C-UAS & Integrated Protection Summit bring together DoD, Military, Federal Government, International Partners & Industry leaders in a 'Town-Hall' style debate focused on current/future initiatives toward developing an effective C-UAS strategy that will deter, defend against & defeat UAS threats, both at home & abroad. This forum will provide insights on the military's strategy to counter the growing use of unmanned aerial systems by adversaries, focusing on a proactive approach and investment in commercial C-UAS & C-sUAS technologies.

Topics to be Covered

• Ensuring DoD Readiness to Deter, Detect & Defeat UAS Threats
• Enhancing C-UAS Capabilities for a Unified Defense
• Driving Army C-UAS Development & Integration for Improved Operational Readiness
• Advancing Domestic Counter-UAS Capabilities for Counterterrorism & Threat Prevention
• Leveraging Commercial Innovation for Increased Counter-UAS Capabilities
• Fielding Advanced C-UAS Technologies to Increasing Naval Defense Capabilities
• Protecting US Borders & Securing US Airspace from UAS Threats
• Evaluating the Performance, Effectiveness, & Reliability of C-UAS Systems to Support Warfighter Mission
• Conducting Joint C-UAS Exercises with International Partners for a Unified Strategic Approach & Improved Capabilities
• Prioritizing Air Domain Awareness Here at Home: Leading UAS Detection and Mitigation to Ensure Safer Skies & Enhance Overall National Security

Why You Should Attend this Year's Summit

The DoD is calling for more of a layered detection approach to C-UAS and want combine detection capabilities such as using EO/IR acoustic sensors to detect visual, sound, & heat signatures, radar systems, & using radio frequency sensors to identify wireless signals. Vendors agree and the DoD is looking for their help on a multitude of C-UAS capabilities. As a result, in the FY2024 budget, the Department of Defense (DOD) saw an increase across the Services on C-UAS spending with more than 177 million provided toward Counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems (CUAS), Group 3 Defeat Acceleration, 5G-enabled drones, and high energy laser atmospheric study and prototype systems. The C-UAS & Integrated Protection Summit will highlight the importance of leveraging commercial innovation to enhance these systems & provide insights on the military's strategy to counter the growing use of unmanned aerial systems by adversaries, focusing on a proactive approach and investment in commercial C-UAS & C-sUAS technologies.

The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel have highlighted the need to counter increasing unmanned and autonomous threats at scale. The increased availability and proliferation of UAS have provided U.S. adversaries with a low-cost means of conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions against-or attacking-U.S. forces. Attendees will hear perspectives from key leaders across military & government on evaluating the performance, effectiveness, & reliability of C-UAS systems to support the Warfighter mission. This event will also feature a panel on conducting Joint C-UAS exercises with International Partners for a unified strategic approach & improved capabilities.

The team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposium's content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the counter unmanned systems space from leaders across Military, Government, Commercial, 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.
