U.S. Air Force to share UAV development plans at the UAV Technology USA 2023 Conference
Key U.S. Air Force speakers at the forefront of UAV development and integration has been announced to speak at the UAV Technology USA in February 2023.
Recently, senior U.S. Air Force officials have provided new details about the service's vision for integrating an evolving set of autonomous capabilities onto new uncrewed aircraft, as well as the groundwork that has already been laid through various recent testing initiatives.
The Air Force views advances in autonomy as absolutely at the core of its plans for a forthcoming fleet of drones designed to work collaboratively with crewed platforms. *
For this reason, the UAV Technology USA conference, taking place on February 6-7, 2023, in Arlington, VA, will provide a valuable forum for attendees to gain an understanding of the U.S. Air Force's development plans of these capabilities.
Early bird offers are available. Register today at http://www.uavtechnologyusa.com/pr1.
The U.S. Air Force expert speakers and sessions include:
• Lieutenant Colonel Rob "Flash" Hetherington, Director of Staff, 25th Attack Group, U.S. Air Force, will present on 'Utilising the Advanced Systems of the MQ-9 Reaper to 'Guard with Power'
• Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Slaughter, Chief of Autonomous Platforms, Air Force Futures, U.S. Air Force, will present on 'Promoting Collaboration for USAF Autonomous System Development at Air Force Futures'
• Lieutenant Colonel Michael S. Chmielewski, Commander, 556th Test & Evaluation Squadron, U.S. Air Force, will present on 'Developing Future Capabilities for the USAF's UAV Fleet Through T&E'
In addition to these briefings, UAV Technology USA 2023 will host an action-packed schedule of presentations from U.S. and international military services, key technology innovation programs, and leading industry providers seeking to enhance unmanned aerial capabilities.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
