Robotica UAS Summit Fall 2021 – Register on Zoom Now!

AUVSI New England, MassAutonomy, and NDIA New England are coming together to co-host this year’s Fall 2021 UAS Summit, which focuses on “Breaking Down Barriers to Operationalization”. 

Join industry and government leaders across New England who will discuss how the community is breaking down barriers to operationalizing critical capabilities for UAS and autonomous systems. Hear how UAS concepts are now shifting from testing and demonstrations to regular operations following standards being set for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and Autonomous Flight – making aerial autonomy a reality for many vertical industries. Learn about the Massachusetts Commonwealth-wide task force that is promoting the industry and planning roadmaps for the integration of Advanced Air Mobility infrastructure and aircraft. And discover how regulatory affairs are keeping up with the technology push to enable and operationalize both complex UAS flights along with counter-UAS solutions – helping to ensure safe, secure, and trustworthy deployments of UAS in our airspace.

Meet federal, state, and local officials, along with industry and academic leaders who will present their experiences and insights during keynote sessions, presentations, and panel discussions. Discover what is currently happening in the New England UAS and AAM ecosystem during PitchFest, Commercial Breaks, and an Exhibition where innovators in government, non-profits, universities, and start-ups will be presenting their UAS and AAM-related needs, services, research, and innovations.

Join us at our annual UAS Summit Fall 2021 – being held in person as well as live-streamed – on Wednesday, November 17, 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, with a social hour at the conclusion of the event to catch up in person with colleagues from across the industry.

Program

The comprehensive program features keynotes by government and industry leaders and panel discussions to gain key insights through focused discussions. The event also features a PitchFest during lunch to hear from groundbreaking startups and entrepreneurs, as well as an exhibit hall, and commercials from pioneering vendors.  

We will discuss:

• How aerial autonomy will transform the first responder community – what is being done now and what is planned for the future, as well as breaking through operational challenges.
• How Massachusetts is leading the charge for rolling out advanced air mobility, and what this means for businesses.
• Advancements in Counter UAS capabilities and deployments to secure airspaces, for both DoD and commercial industries.
• What the current state of regulatory affairs are and how barriers are being removed for BVLOS and autonomous flight.
