We are delighted to announce the 5th annual Counter UAS Technology USA Conference, taking place in Washington, D.C. on December 1-3, 2025.
Building from the sell-out 2024 edition, Counter UAS Technology USA 2025 will return in a bigger platform than ever before, to bring together key military and government C-UAS program managers, policy makers, research and development experts, along with industry partners, to forge valuable discussions on how to strengthen US protection against the threat of UAS.
With the recent announcement of the DoD's Replicator 2 initiative, distinctively focused on counter drone technology, it is evident that advancing robust C-sUAS capabilities is critical to enable the DoD and Military to protect personnel, assets and locations from the proliferation of illegal and hostile drones.
Counter UAS Technology USA 2025 is the perfect forum for this important topic, as it will facilitate discussions surrounding C-sUAS priorities, challenges and solutions, promoting dedicated discussion and networking to enhance the approach, analysis, and solutions to address one of the most prevalent pressures facing the US military, government, and allies: the sUAS threat.
Counter UAS Technology USA 2025 will feature a Focus Day on December 1, dedicated to Mobile Deployable Counter UAS. This will provide a unique opportunity for the community to discuss the integration of mounted, dismounted, and on-the-move capabilities to provide the US war fighter with operational advantage against rogue drones.
The Main Conference, taking place on December 2-3, will continue to forge insightful discussions around the development and integration of effective countermeasures to identify, target, intercept and ultimately defeat illicit UAS activity.
This event is your gateway to interacting with key stakeholders spanning military, government, and industry, offering a comprehensive exploration of the sector's future. Immerse yourself in unparalleled networking opportunities at this conference.
