Armed UAS Conference 2012
May 23 - 24, 2012
Las Vegas NV , USA
Benefits of Attending
Successful Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) attacks 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 Air Force Reaper and Army Grey Eagle to the long-term Navy UCAS and everything in between including smaller unmanned aircraft. With yearly worldwide UAS spending expected to double in the next 10 years from the already $4.4 billion annually, unmanned lethal capabilities promise to be a focal point in near-term development as the demand for “lethal ISR” is at a fever pitch.
This outstanding conference examines the latest needs, challenges and opportunities for arming unmanned aircraft systems.
-What are the Services’ needs and initiatives for armed UASs?
-What are the latest major developments towards Small UAS Weaponization?
-What are the critical lessons learned for armed UASs and UAS weapons from both integrators and end-users?
-What is the status on current and emerging UAS weapons?
