2015 UAS Summit & Expo Program Guide

Welcome to Expectations For The Show

GRAND FORKS

Welcome to the ninth annual UAS Summit & Expo held in Grand Forks, North Dakota. During the previous nine years, this event has evolved from a regional round-up highlighting the vast potential for unmanned aircraft systems in the Red River Valley, into a showcase of the UAS industry’s current state of impact at the local and national level. This year our team at UAS Magazine, a print and online publication devoted to all things UAS, has had the opportunity to co-organize and arrange an event worthy of being located in what many are now calling the epicenter of the UAS world. By no coincidence at all, our magazine’s headquarters are in downtown Grand Forks.

Building on the successful show spirit present in previous events, this year’s Summit once again offers us all a unique look at several crucial elements of the ever emerging UAS marketplace. As a true sign of the economic and political support given to UAS in North Dakota, every crucial Congressional leader from the state will provide perspective on why North Dakota has been and will continue to be a focal point capable of revealing the success and progress of the industry. What happens in North Dakota, in essence, impacts the entire UAS community and the world. We are thankful and excited to provide several North Dakota-related presentations and experts on a wide-range of topics. While it may be impossible to provide insight and updates on every UAS-related project occurring in the state or region, expect to see many of the best, including a presentation from one of the region’s most important UAS leaders, Robert Becklund, executive director of the Northern Plains UAS Test Site. Although some of the presentations may sound familiar, it is clear to our team after talking with the presenters that this year’s event will offer the freshest, most valuable content based on the latest rules, regulations and commercial developments.

If that isn’t enough, a walk through the expo hall during a lunch break or evening reception is sure to lead you to the right person or topic expert. And, as a sign of the industry’s progress, this year’s expo hall has doubled. Like the content at the show, there is no doubt that in years to come everything related to the UAS Summit will be expanding. If you do plan a visit with someone on Monday over lunch, be prepared to feel the prop wash from a small UAV flying overhead at the flight demonstrations.

To truly understand the massive offerings present for UAS, insight from three of the largest UAS manufacturers—Northrop Grumman Corp., General Atomics and Textron—will help us understand where and when growth will occur or continue to happen. The Tuesday morning session we’ve labeled, The Manufacturer’s Message, is a must attend. As we like to say, it will be akin to listening to the Ford, Chevy and Dodge representatives of the UAS world share their plans. For updates on UAVs used for military purposes, don’t miss the talks from the Grand Forks Air Force Base team or those explaining their understanding of UAS in the Arctic. Both content focal points will undoubtedly reveal cutting edge plans for new UAS technology implementation. To end the event, we are fortunate to have scheduled a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration public meeting to provide us with our fill of FAA information, ideas and project updates.

To access presentations real-time or post-delivery, check out UAS Connect, the Summit’s new app that can be downloaded to your smart device. With story ideas, find a member of our magazine staff. And, with presentation suggestions or thoughts on UASrelated topics that could be relevant in the future, be sure to join us next year.

Thank you for attending. Let us know how our team can serve you.
