Unmanned Aerial Vehicles - Conference Agenda - June 10-11, 2004, San Diego, California

"Radical leap-ahead UAV technologies are being developed and fielded as a response to DOD's transformational goal for integrating unmanned aircraft into the current and future warfighting force.
The DOD's demand for UAVs has never been greater as billions of dollars continue to pour into UAV research, development, testing and training (*such as at INDIAN SPRINGS, NV, THE OPERATING BASE AT GROOM LAKE, NV, EDWARDS AFB, CA, CHINA LAKE NAVAL WEAPONS TESTING CENTER, CA, etc. etc.)
As a critical component in network centric warfare, emerging UAV payload opportunities should magnify their roles and responsiblities tenfold. The development of new UAV technologies to support future missions and initiatives leaves the door wide open for industry to solve daunting technical challenges and capitalize ona vast new array of developmental opportunities - what role will your organization play?"
