Military Robotics Revolutionizing Military Operations - Emerging Requirements, Plans, Challenges and Market Opportunities
The concept of unmanned vehicles is no longer the exclusive domain of aircraft. Unmanned land and naval vehicles and systems have benefited directly from the advancements made within the UAS sectors, as well as from the increasing integration of information systems into their operational capabilities. The projected market for both unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) is expected to reach into the billions within the next five to ten years. With the successes of unmanned counter-IED and EOD robotics in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as UUVs in naval and maritime operations such as port surveillance and mine removal to the Deep Sea Horizon spill, it is clear that the demand for these technologies will only expand from continuing to satisfy immediate requirements to well into the future.
This outstanding conference brings together key officials and representatives from both government and industry who will examine the recent developments, most critical capability gaps, and likely future direction for military robotics.
* What are the Services` and Federal Agencies` emerging roadmaps for ground and naval military robotics? * What are the main market opportunities within these technology areas; Where is industry support most needed? * What are the strategic and tactical implications of land and naval robotics in the future of warfare? * What are the latest advancements in UGV and UUV programs, platforms, and payloads?
