Conference Day One - 3 June

START TIMES: 0930 New York | 1430 London | 1530 Paris

All times below are London (GMT+1)


Our research found that customers for Counter-UAS solutions have trouble understanding why apparently similar solutions vary so much in cost. The fact is, there is no objective way to compare one system with another without a deep understanding of the underlying technologies, the operational environment, the threat landscape and the relative effectiveness of one solution over another in a given situation. Customers also fear making costly mistakes buying a solution that appears to work well in demonstrations but fails to deliver in the real world.

That is the focus of this 90-minute Procurement Training Day webinar. We have brought together speakers with extensive academic, research, innovation, technical, industry and operational investigative expertise to help answer the top questions in customers’ minds, and in the process uncover insights and topics that need further discussion.
