AUAS-C 2012 - Armed Unmanned Aircraft Systems Conference

Successful Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) attacks on insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan have forever changed the landscape of future aviation development in the Department of Defense. The Predator, Reaper and Hunter have shown unprecedented capability in pairing persistent surveillance with quick, precision strike further adding to their value as integral assets on the battlefield. As a result, DoD and the Services are forging ahead with UAS weaponization development from the near-term Air Force Reaper and Army Grey Eagle to the long-term Navy UCAS and everything in between including smaller unmanned aircraft.
