The Red River Valley Research Corridor: Unmanned Aviation Systems Action Summit 2012 will be held on May 22-23, 2012 at the Alerus Center, Grand Forks, North Dakota.
The 6th UAS Action Summit will hear from presenters, including industry leaders, policy makers, entrepreneurs and researchers, who will discuss and explore actions the region, and nation, can and is taking to foster strong, sustainable growth in the unmanned systems sector.
This year’s theme “From Battle Field to Farm Field” will examine an entire spectrum of important measures our nation and the industry must consider and prepare for to meet the ongoing use and growth of unmanned, or remotely piloted, systems within the national airspace in defense and commercial applications. Many of the answers to these questions are being pursued through the development and advancement of restricted airspace and advanced sense and avoid technologies.
Speakers include leading experts, industry leaders, and federal policy makers on a range of other important topics including FAA test sites and restricted airspace, emerging UAS training, precision agriculture and other civilian/commercial applications. Over 450 UAS professionals attended the event last year.
