Senior experts to discuss unmanned platform autonomy at the virtual Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology conference in May
Five senior experts from different organisations are set to present on unmanned platform autonomy at the virtual conference in May.
This year's Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology conference taking place virtually on 12th and 13th May 2021, will host international naval officials and key military decision makers and stakeholders as they come together and discuss how unmanned maritime systems are changing the nature of warfare above and below the water.
Those who attend the two-day event will have the opportunity to virtually network over five hours with more than eight different nations including: Australia, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, UK, US, and more.
It is £499 for government, public sector and military personnel to attend and just £999 for commercial companies. Register at http://www.umsconference.com/pr2
With rapidly evolving autonomous technology spanning everything from advanced sensors to navigation systems, the maritime industry is embracing this emerging technology for its vast opportunities for naval missions, cost effectiveness, safety, and fuel efficiency.
