Why Attend USDPS
What You’ll Accomplish
The goal of this event is to accelerate the development and acquisition of unmanned systems technologies to support critical operations by:
- Educating industry on the needs of the military branches and security agencies
- Educating government on the capabilities of current and near-future unmanned systems
- Establishing and growing connections between government and industry
An Immersive Experience
Recognizing public health concerns and travel challenges, USDPS 2020 will take place entirely within a secure interactive virtual platform. Attendees will hear directly from high-ranking military officials, engage live with program managers and industry executives, and connect face-to-face with speakers and fellow attendees during scheduled and organic networking sessions.
New for 2020 — an interactive review of the FY21 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) highlighting historical trends of appropriations for unmanned systems from Presidents’ budgets through expenditures and analyzing the status of the current bill.

Each day of the event will feature high-level content that cuts across all domains, as well as targeted sessions that focus in on maritime-, air-, or ground-based unmanned systems.
