Brand new for 2025: Collaborative Autonomy Focus Day!
Following 2024's USV focus day, Sep 15 at the 2025 event will focus exclusively on collaborative maritime autonomy. Topics covered will include:
Leveraging aerial, surface & sub surface systems within a joint operating picture
C2 requirements to simultaneously operate multiple autonomous systems and swarms
Enhancing lehtality via the introduction of systems including loitering munitions
The role of artificial intelligence in increasing operational effectiveness
Discover how your solutions might align with the US Navy's current and future operational requirements!
With uncrewed systems protected from Pentagon budget cuts & the 'Hellscape Concept' growing in focus, the Maritime UxS market is a huge opportunity for industry to support the US warfighter. Rather than digging through pages of RFIs/ RFPs in the hope your solutions might match listed requirements, this conference is your chance to meet everyone you need to, across 3 days, in one space.
