Information Payoff at the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Payloads Conference


UAV poster As the number of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) continues to multiply, so does the need for highly advanced payload technologies to support these systems. To better understand the issues and participate with others of like minds a conference, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Payloads, will be hosted at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, Alexandria-Historic District hosted by TTC - Technology Training Corporation on June 23-24. Learn more at this site.

This conference is for defense and security and is limited to US, NATO, and allied countries only.

Over 25 Leading Experts from: JCS/DIA, OUSD(I), OUSD(AT&L), SOUTHCOM, HQ USAF, USAF UAS Task Force, Army TRADOC, AFSOC, CNTPO, JIEDDO, AFRL, ONR, NOAA, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, BAE Systems, Selex Galileo, L-3 ComCept, QinetiQ, Sarnoff Corp, Telephonics, Overwatch, Trident Systems, Mirage Systems, and ImSAR LLC examine:
  • Critical UAS Payload Needs and Requirements
  • OSD • JCS/DIA • USAF • Army • Navy
  • Emerging Radar and Imaging Sensor Needs, Capabilities, & Challenges
  • Predator Series and Global Hawk Payload Updates
  • Latest UAS Payload Innovations in Ladar, CBRN, SIGINT and more
Special Presentations by
  • Major General Michael T. Flynn – JCS
  • Brigadier General Lawrence L.Wells – USAF
  • Mr. Charles J. Brinkman – Northrop Grumman
Numerous UASs now are targeted for multi-mission roles, requiring a wide range of payload systems to accomplish wide-ranging missions – from persistent surveillance to search-and-destroy. The development of UAS payload technologies to support global warfighter operations creates vast new opportunities for Industry. New mission requirements must be met but numerous capability gaps must first be overcome. How can your organization make an impact?

This cutting-edge conference brings together a world-class speaking panel filled with the key, upper echelon decision makers, hailing from both DoD and Industry. You will receive a comprehensive look at the current and emerging UAS payload needs and opportunities. These and many more questions will be answered during this outstanding event.
  • What are OSD and the Services’ key goals and requirements for current and future UAS Payloads?
  • Which technologies are paving the way for improved UAS imaging and radar?
  • How are UASs assisting in counter-IED and counternarcotic operations and what are the latest payload requirements?
  • What are the latest innovations in ladar, chemical detection and SIGINT payloads and enabling technologies?
  • What new technologies and methods are being employed for improving payload data processing, exploitation and dissemination?
