i-hls and Defense Update are excited to present AUS&R 2013 – a unique opportunity for developers, manufacturers, OEM, service providers and operators of unmanned systems, to display and demonstrate their capabilities to professional audience.

Policy makers, uniformed service leaders, law enforcement and industry partners will gather here to network, share best practices and explore potential paths for future cooperation.

UNMANNED SYSTEMS IN ACTION!

The following systems will be displayed on the static and LIVE display at AUS&R 2013

[soliloquy id="15052"]

live demonstration of unmanned vehicles
in the air, on land and at sea!

Reflecting Israel’s leadership in the field of unmanned systems field, AUS&R 2013 will provide the opportunity to display numerous platforms, systems and solutions from Israel and abroad, demonstrated live on site!

The live display will comprise three sessions, 45 min. each. The sessions will include air, land and naval vehicles. The performance of different mission payloads will be presented to the audience over large video screens. The event will also provide extensive audio-visual support to display demonstrations on videos throughout the day.

Planned Agenda

AUS&R conference will focus on the following tracks: Solutions, Platforms and Missions
Highlighting present and future aspects of unmanned systems, and their use in military, homeland security and civil applications, AUS&R 2013 provides the perfect stage to discuss the prospects and challenges facing autonomous and unmanned systems operations in the air, land and at sea.

Following is a preliminary program of the event:

08:30 – 09:20 Registration & Reception
08:30 – 16:00 – Exhibition open to visitors & delegates

Morning Session 09:20 – 11:10

Keynote Presentation: Future Trends in Unmanned Systems – Looking Beyond the Horizon
	Solutions Track	Platforms Track	Missions Track
Briefing	Drones & National Security The role of unmanned systems providing strategic situational awareness to enabling timely, actionable, response	Command, Control & Autonomy Examining the command and control concepts required for the autonomous operation of multiple unmanned systems	Persistent Surveillance, Actionable Intelligence The evolution of platforms, payloads and operating systems and human elements, toward persistent and actionable operation
Briefing	Unmanned at the Airport An examination of the benefits of operating unmanned systems around at airports, and the problems they may cause, when operated irresponsibly	Manufacturing for High Performance Higher performance (endurance), increased survivability (stealth), better efficiencies (lower drag) and reduced cost ($$) are only part of the benefits offered by advanced materials and new manufacturing techniques	Protecting the Unmanned Systems By definition, unmanned systems are exposed to a wide range of threats, from cyber to kinetic. This briefing highlights those threats and suggests potential countermeasures
