Drones and the Future of Infrastructure Inspection
Inspecting large infrastructure installments has traditionally been an expensive, time consuming and dangerous undertaking. Drones can access many difficult to reach areas at a fraction of the cost in less time and with less risk to human lives than traditional methods.
Join industry experts and end users as they discuss the many ways in which drones have improved inspection capabilities. Operators will share stories from the field, highlight uses case, and discuss what they’ve learned since embracing drones.

The Burgeoning Unmanned Maritime Industry and Its Economic Impact
In August 2018, the Pentagon awarded an $800 million contract for the development of unmanned subsurface systems. The recognition of opportunities presented by maritime systems, well known by industry experts, has spurred energetic interest from within the unmanned systems community and potential adopters from diverse industries.
Join maritime industry veterans for an update on recent changes to the industry and platforms being developed. Representatives of industries who have embraced unmanned maritime technology will discuss how these systems changed their business models, expanded capabilities, and increased efficiency.

Simulation and Testing: Realistic Uses for AR and VR
The capabilities of unmanned systems across domains and industries often make it appear we are living in the future. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the spheres of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). AR and VR have been used for training in machine-heavy industries and in system capability demonstrations.
This webinar will explore the possibilities AR and VR offer and will provide a chance to discuss developing capabilities with leaders in the unmanned systems community who have already embraced this technology.

A Foundation for Autonomy – New Automotive Standards Accelerate Development of Autonomous Vehicles
The race for connected and autonomous vehicles is accelerating technology innovation. To fully leverage this innovation, a standards-based communications foundation must exist to support the immense amount of data that will be passed between applications and sensors, while also enabling safe and secure operations. Historically, the adoption of standards has resulted in rapid and profound acceleration of technology. The adoption of CAN and AUTOSAR are examples of standards that have enabled the advancement of many conveniences, luxury and safety features in low-end vehicles. What standard is positioned to do the same for autonomy?
Overcoming Challenges of Capturing and Using Drone Data in Construction
Design and construction projects are complex. Whether it’s safety, rework, or schedule issues that result in cost overruns or schedule delays, project managers, construction managers, architects, engineers, etc. are limited by the lack of project intelligence needed to take proactive steps to avoid issues, meet weekly or monthly progress reports or to assess project risk. Learn how to easily capture photos/videos or leverage LiDAR, Thermal, and IR sensor based data at any jobsite across North America. Join this fast-paced, online discussion to learn how to leverage drones on all your jobsites to reduce delays, rework, safety issues, and drive higher performance.

Success in the Unmanned Economy: Use Cases and Advice from the Field
That unmanned systems have enormous economic potential is an accepted fact within our community and one becoming increasingly clear to the public. One reason for this shift in public acceptance and confidence is the successful implementation of unmanned technology in established industries.
AUVSI has invited our partners from several industries who use unmanned systems in the air, on the ground and on the water to discuss their experience with the technology, how they became involved with unmanned systems, and how it changed their industry. These stories and use cases are just a small sampling of the industries, products and solutions that will be on display at XPONENTIAL 2019 in Chicago, April 29 - May 2.

Unmanned Systems–Defense. Protection. Security. and the Road Forward
For more than forty years, AUVSI has connected the Department of Defense (DOD) with the defense industry and supported the advancement of unmanned systems. As defense needs have changed so has the unmanned systems industry, and with it AUVSI.
Today AUVSI is leading discussions on the most important issues facing the community. Join DOD personnel and industry leaders to discuss these issues, including acquisition, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. This webinar will preview topics that will be featured at Unmanned Systems – Defense. Protection. Security.
Speaker:
Mr. Stuart Hatfield, Robotics Branch Chief, FDD, Army G-8
Dorothy Engelhardt, Director, Unmanned Systems, DASN Ships, U.S. Navy
