Military, Industry Executives, Government And Researchers From Across The U.S. To Attend
The Counter-UAS Summit being held this week will provide a forum for military leaders, program executive officers, industry executives, academics and researchers to focus on emerging and innovative C-UAS technologies, such as directed energy weapons and EW measures. It will also address technologies to detect and identify drones in the battlefield, and cities to prevent attacks on critical infrastructures and citizens.
The event will take place this August 22-24, at the Hilton Crystal City at Washington Reagan National Airport.
"I am pleased to be named chairman of such a profound event. This summit is of importance and timely given the current state of small consumer off the shelf drones being used as weapons," said Rob Thompson the Cofounder of CUAS Coalition and chairman of the event. "As with any event there is nothing like being face to face with the speakers and learn from them directly the various techniques, policies and tactics to protect your assets from harm. The current list of speakers is very impressive. This summit stands to be the first most comprehensive of its kind and will showcase the best of the industry in their presentations and panel discussions."
