Information sharing and information overload challenges continue to dominate operational and acquisition planning within the Department of Defense, Intelligence, Homeland Security, and Law Enforcement communities. Increasingly, government agencies are looking for the latest tools and capabilities in big data and predictive analytics to provide the means to analyze, exploit and draw conclusions sourced from the seemingly overwhelming inputs fro...

Future Requirements – Missions – Capabilities – Opportunities The need for more and technologically superior ISR assets now permeates government planning across a broad range of critical missions. Today, from the Middle East to the increasingly tumultuous Asia-Pacific region and even home to CONUS, the urgent need for a diverse and evolving leap-ahead ISR Automated Technology is paramount to counter increasingly sophisticated...

Emerging Opportunities, Needs and Challenges Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) have seen a golden age in the last decade growing to an annual budget of $7 billion. Most of this growth has been through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but with the drawing down of troops, what’s next? Analysts still predict growth in this industry, estimating a total increase to just over $89 billion in the next decade....

The Next Big Thing! – Civil and Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems The markets for civil and commercial unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) are poised to explode. UAS manufacturers who to date have been feeding the huge defense market are being joined by an ever increasing number of non-defense UAS platform and payload developers who are targeting the potentially enormous markets for civil and commercial cap...

Unlike traditional manufacturing, which involves creating a smaller object from a larger source material, additive manufacturing takes raw materials, feeds them through a digital manufacturing system and creates a customized object from that material, eliminating excess material waste. This potential ability to exchange AM design and manufacturing capabilities via file sharing has enormous potential ramifications for reducing shipping and prod...

The Department of Defense continues to be the largest single acquirer and user of energy and energy systems and technologies in the world. While most continue to be petroleum and petroleum-based products, there is also a steadily growing market for alternative energies. In addition, DoD and the Services are investing heavily in new technologies to improve energy efficiency and management, whether at fixed installations or in the deployed, mobi...

“In the next 20-30 years these things [RPAs] are going to explode” –General Mark A. Welsh, III, Air Force Chief of Staff Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) have seen a golden age in the last decade growing to an annual budget of $7 billion. Most of this growth has been through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but with the drawing down of troops, what’s next? Analysts still predict grow...

The two-day general session will assemble the Key Organizations and the Senior Leading Experts that are shaping the direction of ISR current requirements and exposing the many future capabilities for the services and public service sectors. The Services’ ever increasing roles for ISR assets are permeating across a very broad range of critical missions, including but not limited to: Persistent Global Surveillance & Global Strike, Cou...
