Counter-UAS at the Crossroads: Accelerating Technology, Policy & Interagency Action to Outpace the Threat

Rogue drone incursions are no longer rare, they’re routine. From airport shutdowns to rising concerns over espionage and sabotage, the unmanned threat is evolving fast. Staying ahead requires more than awareness—it demands action. Now in its fourth year, this highly interactive summit offers a trusted, closed-door forum for real-time intelligence and strategic collaboration across the global counter-UAS landscape.

Held under Chatham House Rule, the event ensures candid dialogue with no media or press in attendance. All participants are strictly vetted; certain citizens are not admitted to the conference.
