Webinar: Autonomy in Action: What Commercial Operations Can Learn from Defense Applications
Date/Time: Thursday, July 10 at 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
As autonomous technologies advances, aerospace companies are faced with both new opportunities and new challenges. How do we introduce this technology at the right time, on the right platform, and for the right use case? And how do we navigate regulatory guidelines that have not caught up to the pace of these advancements?
In this webinar, we’ll explore how the Defense industry is leveraging the latest autonomous solutions for both crewed and uncrewed aerial missions — while making connections to the commercial market. From logistics to CUAS, autonomy is making defense missions both more effective and safer for military personnel. Our expert panelists will discuss:
