(d) Future-focused Discussions: Discussions on future trends in UAV technology for military applications will be encouraged. By exploring autonomous UAV operations, AI, and machine learning applications, the event aims to shape the trajectory of UAV development in the defense sector.
The Operational Environment
The future battle space will present a highly contested anti-access/area-denial environment. The capability exists with our adversaries for significant application of non-kinetic and cyber weapons, and drones (armed, loitering and autonomous) augmented with the use of artificial intelligence to control these weapons.
Drones have played a significant role in the conflict in Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Armenia, Yemen, Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, used for various purposes, including reconnaissance, surveillance, and sometimes for offensive operations.
Expected Outcomes
It is expected that:-
(a) The event will foster collaboration between armed forces and industry, leading to the development of collaborative solutions that meet the unique UAV requirements of the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force.
(b) Armed with insights gained from presentations and discussions, industry participants will be better equipped to make informed decisions in the development of UAV technologies and solutions for military applications.
Scope and Sessions
The seminar has been structured aa follows:-
(a) UAV Operations & Requirements: Explore the UAV requirements of the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force. This session will delve into operational needs, challenges, and future visions for military UAV applications.
(b) Industry Capabilities: Industry leaders will have the opportunity to showcase their capabilities and innovations in UAV technology. This is an exclusive platform for companies to present their solutions and engage directly with potential clients from the armed forces.
(c) Counter-UAVs: Address the emerging threats posed by unmanned aerial systems and discuss defensive measures and technologies. This session is dedicated to understanding and countering potential UAV threats.
(d) Innovation & Research & Development: Highlight the latest advancements in UAV technology through presentations on Advanced Sensors, Payloads, AI, and Machine Learning applications for autonomous UAV operations. This session will showcase cutting-edge research and development in military UAVs.
The Seminar and Exhibition on Unmanned Aerial Systems & Counter-UAS promises to be a pivotal event, driving innovation and collaboration in the ever-evolving landscape of military aviation.
We extend a warm invitation to industry leaders, researchers, and defense professionals to join us on May 17, 2024, and contribute to the advancement of UAV technology for the defense of our nation. Together, let's shape the future of unmanned military aviation.
