About Unmanned Aircraft Systems West Conference

This comprehensive symposium 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.

Benefits of Attending

While funding for many defense programs are getting cut amid the Department of Defense’s (DoD) latest cost saving measures, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) spending 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 $94 billion total in the next 10 years. Underlining the importance of unmanned aircraft systems and remotely piloted aircraft, the U.S. Congress recently added millions to the FY2013 budget request for unmanned aircraft.
