12th Annual Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Summit

The 12^th Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Summit will convene senior level experts and decision makers from across the DoD, Military Services, Industry & Academia for in-depth discussions on the integration and utilization of unmanned capabilities to ensure future mission success in the all-domain operating environment.

To maintain technological and military superiority on the future battlefield, DoD and the Military Services must accelerate the deployment of innovative strategies, priorities, and emerging research to best support the utilization of unmanned and autonomous systems across the Services. The Summit will feature two panels, one on integrating unmanned systems & AI into maritime operations and the other on fielding C-UAS to address future threats. Attendees at the 2024 Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Summit will have the unique opportunity to examine the strategies, technologies, and modernization priorities critical to developing and delivering air/land/sea unmanned systems to the Warfighter.
