UAV Technology

Uncrewed aerial systems have become one of the most researched and pursued military technologies in the past decade and the market for drones and UAVs has grown exponentially.

Their capabilities have advanced with the shifting of operational requirements, whether it is with ISR assets for long-range reconnaissance missions, soldier-born battlefield awareness mini UAS or for remotely piloted combat drones for precision strikes. The demand for these indispensable capabilities has led to further development of their technical abilities.

Returning for its seventh successful year, SAE Media Group are delighted to host the highly anticipated UAV Technology Conference, which returns to London this September. This is the leading international forumdedicated towards the development of UAV programs and capabilities, allowing for essential dialogue between military, industry, and academia.

The agenda has been carefully crafted to include senior international Air Forces Officers, Program Managers and Technical Scientists, who will deliver in-depth briefings on the latest UAV technologies, challenges, and requirements over two days.

The themes covered include:

• Royal Air Force Uncrewed Programs & Capabilities

• UAV Certification & Integration

• UAV Sensor Technology

• US Operational UAV Updates

• International  RPAS Acquisition Updates

• European UAV Programs & Capabilities

• UAV Training & Simulations, plus many more

Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology USA Conference

The US is now committed to delivering a hybrid fleet that will be necessary for the Navy to meet emerging security concerns and compete and win in an era of great power competition by expanding and developing a range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV), and unmanned surface vessels (USV).

With this in mind, SAE Media Group are delighted to announce the inaugural Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology USA Conference, which is designed to bring together program managers in the US unmanned field (across UAVS, USVs and UUVs), facilitate discussion, provide updates on capabilities, and identify priorities and areas for future development.

Key reasons to attend the conference:

• Listen to keynote briefings from leading US military leaders driving the development of unmanned maritime systems

• Hear updates and guidance from allied UMS program managers

• Delve into the latest topics and trends shaping the future of unmanned maritime systems and learn how to integrate these new technologies to enhance your operational effectiveness

• Discover the latest cutting-edge technology at the exhibition hall and explore opportunities for greater coalition interoperability

• Benefit from the extensive networking opportunities and meet your fellow peers at dedicated networking lunches

Key topics for discussion include: Autonomy for MCM and ASW operations, updates on key uncrewed platform programmes (such as UUV and USVs), preparing and supporting uncrewed systems for operations, Crewed/Uncrewed Teaming, UMS interoperability initiatives, uncrewed hydrography and oceanography, and many more.

This is the global meeting point for leading US military leaders and allied UMS programme managers driving the development of unmanned maritime systems.

Indonesia in View 2022

Indonesia is regarded as a market of great potential in the region, with its population of 270 million, many of whom are young, under-served by cinemas and actively seeking content online. With 66 million viewers in Indonesia consuming 3 billion hours of OTT content every month, the pandemic-related boost given to streaming is here to stay. In the past two years alone, the OTT sector has seen the collapse of regional platforms iflix and Hooq, the arrival of Disney+, and the Asian outreach initiatives of Chinese streaming giants iQIYI and WeTV. At present, the video streaming user base in Indonesia is dominated by Viu, Netflix and Vidio, all of whom are now competing with these new entrants who are trying to make their mark in the market.

Being the largest market in Southeast Asia, it leads at 7% annual growth in video, and both its SVOD and AVOD sectors growing at over 20% between 2021-2026, according to Media Partners Asia (MPA). No doubt this makes Indonesia one of the few markets where the U.S. multinationals and the Chinese platforms are going head-to-head to gain market share.

Indonesia in View 2022 will explore the challenges being faced by these local, regional and global streaming services, and what their priorities are around content, localisation and ultimately, business models, for the coming year. Where do they see eye to eye, and where would they differ?

Airborne ISR

SAE Media Group is proud to present the 6th Airborne ISR conference to be held in London on the 19th and 20st October 2022.

Space Resiliency Summit

DSI’s 9th Annual Space Resiliency Summit will bring together senior leaders from across the national security community to discuss the policies and operations necessary to ensure the safety of US space-based assets and missions. As barriers to entry continue to fall, the space domain is becoming an increasingly contested operating environment. US intelligence, defense, and commercial organizations actively leverage space capabilities for communications, scientific pursuits, intelligence, reconnaissance, and missile detection efforts. Compromising these assets will potentially have tremendous consequences on national security as well as the well-being of the nation.
