In
2015, UMEX will also run an Unmanned
Systems conference that explores the evolution of this technology.
Unmanned systems are not only vital to the three main services but also
increasingly used by police and coastguards as well expanding civilian
functions. As the regional leader in the production and use of unmanned
systems, the UAE is the perfect place to explore new uses for unmanned
systems and what the industry and the military need to do to make this
happen.
The Unmanned Systems Conference is part of the IDEX Defence Conferences. The conferences unite Defence Ministers, Chiefs of Staff, senior commanders from the UAE Armed Forces, government officials, senior decision makers and other commanding officers from international militaries. Attendance
crosses the armed services sectors, including army, navy, coast guard,
marine, airforce and police force as well as senior executives from the
defence industry and military experts. |
