Takes Place Today At 1500 EST
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) will host a webinar on how government agencies, within and beyond the U.S. Department of Defense, are increasingly integrating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into their operating procedures. The webinar will take place on this afternoon at 1500 EST.
“Protecting Government Holdings with Unmanned Systems” will highlight growing efforts by public organizations to leverage unmanned technology, something traditionally embraced by the Department of Defense and defense contractors. The webinar will feature JC Coffey, executive director, unmanned systems at Cherokee Nation Technologies, which supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Mark Bathrick, director, Office of Aviation Services (OAS) at the U.S. Department of the Interior, to discuss the role of unmanned systems in government operations.
Additionally, the webinar will preview AUVSI Unmanned Systems Defense. Protection. Security. (USDPS), the most comprehensive military- and government-focused event in the unmanned systems industry, at which experts will address innovation, investment, and sustainability challenges and opportunities. USDPS will be held Feb. 6 to 8, 2018, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, located at the National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md.
Registration for the webinar is complimentary for AUVSI members and qualified media, and $49 for non-members. Registration will close this morning at 1100 EST.
