Las Vegas, NV • May 12-13, 2009
Successful Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) strikes on
insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan have forever changed the landscape of future
aviation development in the department of defense. The Predator,
Reaper and Hunter have shown unprecedented capability in pairing persistent
surveillance with quick, precision strike further adding to their value as
integral assets on the battlefield. As a result, DoD and the Services are
forging ahead with UAS weaponization development from the near term Army
SkyWarrior to the long-term Navy UCAS and everything in between including
smaller and more effective weapons for unmanned aircraft of all sizes. As one
analyst recently commented, “The demand for UAS
capabilities is far from peaking”
This outstanding conference examines
the latest needs, challenges and opportunities for arming unmanned aircraft
systems.
- What are the Service’s needs and
initiatives for armed UASs?
- What are the latest technologies that
will optimize Unmanned Aircraft Systems for the DoD’s goal of precision
engagement?
- What are the latest challenges and
capabilities for small UAS weaponization?
- What is the way forward for the Navy’s
carrier-based UCAS program?
- What are the latest status updates for
the Air Force Reaper UAS and the Army SkyWarrior UAS?
- What are the Services’ weapon
development and integration plans?
- What are the possibilities with
non-kinetic UAS weaponization such as directed energy weapons?
These and many other questions will be
addressed during this outstanding event.
