While funding for many defense programs are getting cut amid the Department of Defense’s (DoD) latest cost saving measures, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS ) procurement and development continue to be a priority with spending remaining in the billions. Recent estimates have yearly global spending on unmanned aircraft doubling in the next decade with a projected $71 billion total in the next 10 years. What opportunities will emerge next in this growing industry?

What are the latest roadmaps for Unmanned Aircraft Systems?

What are the latest Joint and COCOM perspectives and opportunities for UAS ?

What are the current and emerging systems for HALE and Tactical UAS ?

What are the advancements and challenges in UAS Autonomy?

This comprehensive conference brings together key officials and representatives from both government and industry that will examine the recent developments, most critical capability gaps, and likely future direction for unmanned aircraft systems.
