Hypersonic Defense is a key issue for many governments around the world, especially with hypersonic weapons being threatened to be used in the battlefield. Simulations and testing are becoming mission critical to make sure nations are best protected against potential hypersonic ballistic missiles.

The U.S. is leading the way amongst NATO members to develop hypersonic capabilities for offensive and defensive scenarios. This has been achieved by strong collaboration between the military, research institutes and industry to make sure allied nations are prepared for such attacks.

During the 2-day Hypersonic Defence conference and exhibition the event will discuss the current hypersonic capabilities of the United States military in regards to offensive and defensive scenarios. There will be a focus on the current testing and research being conducted on hypersonic weapon flight testing and flows. There will be discussion on the current collaborations and support universities and research labs provide to improve hypersonic defense capabilities.

On behalf of the Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP), and in coordination with ARCTOS, the Department of the Air Force cordially invites you to the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) 2024, in Austin, Texas December 2-5, 2024.

DMC is the nation’s annual forum for enhancing and leveraging the efforts of engineers, managers, technology leaders, scientists, and policy makers across the defense manufacturing industrial base. Leaders and manufacturing subject matter experts from government, industry, and academia exchange information and perspectives on defense manufacturing policies, strategic direction, best practices, funding opportunities, and the latest manufacturing innovations that will benefit our nation’s warfighters.

Attendees range from CEO- and General/Flag Officer/SES-level to working-level manufacturing-oriented engineers, scientists, and business practice/policy makers and includes technology implementers, system designers and representatives of our soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine warfighters. Typical attendance is over 1,000 primarily government and industry participants with a smaller complement from academia.

The Conference agenda, registration, and lodging information will be posted on this website. The expanded Exhibit Hall will include all the leading organizations from the defense manufacturing community. We look forward to seeing you in Austin!

SAE Media Group is delighted to announce the 4th annual Counter UAS Technology USA Conference, taking place in Arlington, VA, on December 2-4, 2024.

Building from the sell-out 2023 edition, Counter UAS Technology USA 2024 will return in a bigger platform than ever before, to bring together key military and government C-UAS program managers, policy makers, research and development experts, along with industry partners, to forge valuable discussions on how to strengthen US protection against the threat of UAS.

With the recent release of the new Counter UAS legislation - ‘Safeguarding the Homeland from the Threats Posed by Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act of 2023’- it is evident that advancing robust C-sUAS capabilities is critical to enable the DoD and Military to protect personnel, assets and locations from the proliferation of illegal and hostile drones.

Counter UAS Technology USA 2024 is the perfect forum for this important topic, as it will facilitate discussions surrounding C-sUAS priorities, challenges and solutions, promoting dedicated discussion and networking to enhance the approach, analysis, and solutions to address one of the most prevalent pressures facing the US military, government, and allies: the sUAS threat.
