SAE Media Group reports: The latest addition to SMG’s sell-out unmanned conference portfolio – Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology USA, is set to take place in Arlington, VA, this September.
The development of unmanned systems in the land and air domains has grown rapidly over the last decade, and the importance of unmanned systems in the maritime domain has and will only continue to grow. In 2021 the U.S. Navy revealed their Unmanned Campaign Framework, outlining the goal to innovate and adapt new technology to build a more lethal and distributed naval force for the future.
The US is now committed to delivering a hybrid fleet that will be necessary for the Navy to meet emerging security concerns and compete and win in an era of great power competition by expanding and developing a range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV), and unmanned surface vessels (USV).
For this reason, SAE Media Group are delighted to announce the inaugural Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology USA, taking place on September 28th-29th, 2022, in Arlington, VA. This is the global meeting point for leading US military leaders and allied UMS programme managers driving the development of unmanned maritime systems.
