The Artificial Intelligence for Defense Summit examines how advanced AI capabilities are being integrated into military operations, highlighting their growing importance in decision support, autonomous systems and data-driven mission planning. It engages defense officials, research organizations and technology developers addressing challenges such as algorithm reliability, ethical deployment and the transition of AI from experimentation to operational use. Aerospace & Defense Review gives sustained attention to these developments as artificial intelligence increasingly shapes defense modernization and system design priorities. Its reporting will present insights on implementation pathways, governance considerations and emerging AI-enabled capabilities discussed at the summit, offering professionals a clearer view of how defense organizations are incorporating intelligent technologies into complex operational environments.

The Counter-UAS Summit organized by DSI Group examines the operational and policy challenges of defending airspace against increasingly accessible unmanned systems, reflecting the growing urgency of counter-drone capabilities across defense and homeland security missions. It draws military leaders, federal agencies and technology providers focused on detection and identification methods, rules of engagement and the coordination of kinetic and non-kinetic response options. Aerospace & Defense Review follows these discussions as counter-UAS strategy intersects with broader concerns around airspace control, electronic warfare and integrated defense systems. Its coverage will outline developments in regulatory authority, system deployment models and emerging technologies highlighted at the summit, equipping readers with a clearer understanding of how counter-drone frameworks are evolving in response to complex operational demands.

This event defines and showcases the global commercial drone industry. It draws the power buyers and global influencers and sets the pace for the industry. 3,500+ delegates from 6 continents will attend in 2026 (on the week BEFORE the Labor Day holiday for the first time). www.expouav.com I've attached a barter (contra) proposal that closely mirrors our previous arrangement with the relevant tweaks - this is the very basic swap done with your sister sites. If the proposal is acceptable, please sign and return it to me and we'll get started on the implementation. Or, feel free to suggest modifications for 2026. You may also reply “OK” to this message and we will accept that, and we will be off and running towards mutual success.

The Counter-UAS Summit USA focuses on advancing strategies to detect, track and mitigate unmanned aerial threats as their use expands across both military and civilian environments. It convenes defense operators, security agencies and technology developers working through challenges such as layered counter-drone systems, evolving threat tactics and the integration of sensors, electronic warfare and directed energy solutions. Aerospace & Defense Review engages with these themes as counter-UAS capabilities become increasingly central to airspace security and defense modernization efforts. Its reporting will detail system interoperability considerations, operational deployment experiences and emerging policy frameworks discussed at the summit, providing industry professionals with insight into how counter-drone technologies are being adapted to meet complex and rapidly shifting threat landscapes.

The Space and Missile Defense Symposium centers on advancing integrated air and missile defense capabilities, serving as a key forum for examining how evolving threats are reshaping strategic and technological priorities across military domains. It engages defense officials, system developers and industry participants addressing issues such as layered defense architectures, hypersonic threat response and the modernization of command and control systems. Aerospace & Defense Review follows these developments as part of its ongoing focus on defense technologies, systems integration and operational readiness within complex security environments. Its reporting will track progress in missile defense innovation, emerging interception strategies and program execution challenges discussed at the symposium, offering industry professionals deeper perspective on how these advancements influence capability development and defense planning.

The NDIA Michigan Chapter presents the 18th Annual Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering & Technology Symposium (GVSETS)! GVSETS provides the opportunity for the Ground Systems community to network and share technical research and innovations while discussing capability gaps and modernization needs. With global threats becoming more aggressive and complex, our nation must implement solutions to ensure our Warfighters have the right tools and solutions for current and future conflicts. The NDIA Michigan Chapter is dedicated to enhancing and modernizing warfighter capabilities, while helping find solutions for these gaps and needs.

DSI’s 2nd Annual Maritime Security Summit is a leading professional, educational development event that will bring together members of the DoW, USCG, Port Security Executives, & Marine Technical Solutions Providers to discuss current efforts toward integrating emerging capabilities, tools, & technologies in support of maritime dominance & sustained readiness. This forum will also address the importance of leveraging alliances & partnerships to enhance overall Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) for our nation’s coastlines, ports, & vessels.

Defense Strategies Institute’s Data Centers & National Security Summit will convene senior leaders, top experts, and strategic decision makers from across the Commercial Sector, Federal Government, DoW, National Labs, and Academia for in-depth discussions on powering and securing critical data center infrastructure in support of national security. This forum aims to explore the technologies and strategies that ensure data centers operate efficiently and securely, with a focus on power management, cooling systems, and operational resilience.

Defense Strategies Institute’s Digital Engineering for Defense Summit will bring together leaders from across the Department of War, federal government, industry, academia, and other relevant stakeholders to advance engineering innovation to accelerate the delivery of advanced warfighting systems for technological advantage.
