Industrial Automation, Robots and Unmanned Vehicles Event Calendar

As the flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, ICRA will bring together the world's top researchers and most important companies to share ideas and advances in our field. Many important developments in robotics and automation have historically been first presented at ICRA, and in its 39th year, ICRA 2022 promises to take this trend one step further. As the practical and socio-economic impact of our field continues to expand, robotics and automation are increasingly taking the center stage in our lives and will play an important role in the future of work and society, an important focus of this conference.

ACI has created the National Congress on Counter UAS Technologies, taking place May 24-25 in Washington, D.C. to advance discussions on CUAS threats past the existing intelligence, and deep dive into the evolving drone risks which can pose a significant disruptive force not only to the United States but globally. Can't miss topics we will cover include: • Emerging DoD & U.S. Government C-UAS Needs, Requirements, Strategies and Opportunities for Industry • Latest Breakthroughs & Technological Advancements within DoD & Gov (S&T), Test and Evaluation • Countering the Threat Roadmaps: FAA Regulatory Rules to Detect, Mitigate and Counter the Growing sUAS Threat • DHS and Protecting the Infrastructure: Joint Protocols, Interoperability, Law Enforcement, and Way Ahead • Understanding the Growing Threat: National Air Space & Beyond: Detection, Avoidance and Countering Capabilities Developments and more!

As the only conference of its kind, Future Armored Vehicles Protection Systems USA, will provide unique briefings on the development and integration of Active Protection Systems, as well as the wider vehicle protection suites employed by armed forces around the world. These briefings will include insight into Modular Systems and architecture, Hard-Kill and Soft-Kill technology, layered approaches to survivability and battle proven systems.

The UAS Summit & Expo started as a small gathering of regional stakeholders. Now, 16 years later, the event in the Northern Plains of North Dakota has become a yearly major event for UAS experts from around the world. It’s the original epicenter of drone research, earned its place as the Silicon Valley of Drones and as you’ll see from the commercial, government and military flight activity filling the sky of the Northern Plains and beyond every day, it has truly become America’s UAS proving grounds. True to its trailblazing roots, this year’s event will unite industry thought leaders, policymakers and high-impact end-users like never before. A newly formed advisory committee representing the most influential UAS entities from the Silicon Valley of Drones has reimagined everything. Working with UAS end-use clients from inside and outside the industry, the advisory committee has taken bold steps to expand the Summit and reveal—through new and unique content never tried before, end-user input and a special attendee list of decisionmakers, buyers and big-names—what your future in UAS will be.
