UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS Emerging Opportunities, Needs and Challenges Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) have seen a golden age in the last decade growing to an annual budget of $7 billion. Most of this growth has been through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but with the drawing down of troops, what s next? Analysts still predict growth in this industry, estimating a total increase to just over $89 billion in the next decade. This outstanding symposium offer the attendees invaluable information on the emerging opportunities in the military, commercial and civil markets as well as closely examine current programs and first hand experiences with UAS. Several key issues will be explored including: Future UAS Development Opportunities and Trends DoD, International, and More FAA UAS Operating Considerations & Section 333 Exemption Process Emerging UAS Service Needs and Initiatives from the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, & USCG UAS for Maritime Surveillance & Customers & Border Patrol Needs & Opportunities Key COCOM UAS Needs, Challenges, and Requirements UAS Weapon Technologies, Initiatives and Tactics UAS Autonomy and Manned/Unmanned Teaming (MUM) Breakthroughs & Capabilities Our Distinguished Panel of UAS Experts The Honorable Congressman Scott Peters D-52nd District, California RDML Mark Leavitt, USN Deputy Commander, Naval Air Force/Naval Air Force Pacific Fleet Mr. Billy Gililland President, General Atomics Systems Integration Vice Admiral (USN RET) Gerald Beaman President, Kratos Unmanned Systems Mr. John Murphy Deputy Executive Director, National Air Security Operations Center, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Air and Marine, DHS CAPT (USN ret) Ted Venable CNT UAS Program Manager at Commander, U.S. Naval Forces South and Commander, (COMUSNAVSO/C4F), USN Mr. Eddie Gleason Director, Office of Legislative Affairs, U.S DHS Col Patrick Mason, USA Commander, Redstone Technical Test Center (RTTC/ATEC) Mr. Thomas Baker Director, UAS-AI Joint Test, U.S. Northern Command COL Courtney Cote, USA Chief, U.S. Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations CDR Andrew Gephart, USN Director, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Directorate CDR (ret) Chris Pyro Fitzgerald, USN Commander Naval Air Forces Pacific (N809A), (COMNAVAIRFOR, CNAF), UAS Requirements COL (USAF RET) Kurt Carraway UAS Flight Operations Manager, Applied Aviation Research Center, Kansas State University Senior Representative, USAF 13th Reconnaissance Wing, 940th, AFRC, 10th AF COL Keith LJB Ward, USAF 163rd Operations Group Commander, ANG LtCOL Kain CHEWIE Anderson, USMC Commanding Officer, Marine Aircraft Group, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing Mr. Keith Smith Chief Engineer, Battlefield Airborne Communications Node Joint Urgent Operation Need Program, Northrop Grumman Corporation Mr. Christopher Ames Director, International Strategic Development, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
