About the Event
The cutting-edge capabilities and wide scope of UAS continue to spark lighting fast innovation and a multitude of fixed wing and VTOL platforms, capabilities, and limitless opportunities for Industry innovation.
As DoD budget reports $842 Billion figures for fiscal 2024, increased investment in UAS as a key strategy has been called the “pacing challenge” of China, and other threats Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III has stated. As DoD and our international allies continue to rely on rapid Industry innovation, specialized UAS manufacturers of platforms, remote operations and C2 links, are pushing ahead with a tremendous and diverse opportunity that continues to grow. Advancements in sensor technologies for a next-gen ISR, eVTOL and payload delivery technologies, operating at BLOS, and with Mum-T are all at forefront of innovation for the Class l (Micro/Mini Platforms) Class II (Medium Tactical) and Class III, (Medium Altitude Long Endurance & High-Altitude Long Endurance).
Attend and gain invaluable knowledge about the complexities where UAS play pivotal roles, along with obtaining the latest and critically important rules and regulations for operating legally within the NAS.
