I thought the UXS conference was informative, including SMEs from industry and the military end users completely framed current UXS environment and direction of the future. It should serve as a catalyst for both public/private sectors to prioritize innovation in preparation for peer-to-peer conflict.
Great to hear about the challenges and goals from varying players within the unmanned industry and stakeholders.
Event was fantastic, speakers were great. Lots of knowledge in the room on such a critical topic.
A perfect balance of government's vision, industry's leadership and networking opportunities.
