The third Congressional UAV Caucus event for 2010 will be held on Wednesday September 22nd, 2010. The Caucus will host a UAV Technology Fair featuring displays from Industry, Government, Law Enforcement, and more.
“This is a great opportunity for the American public to come and get a close look at an exciting, growing technology,”
The event will take place in the Foyer of the Rayburn House Office Building from 10am until 2pm. Each display will feature exhibits allowing Members, staff, and the public to touch and interact with the latest technology from America’s unmanned aerial systems. System experts will be on hand to answer any questions about their equipment.
Rayburn House Office Building is located southwest of the Capitol on a site bounded by Independence Avenue, South Capitol Street, First Street, and C Street, S.W. Washington, DC.
Military procurement of UAS, including unmanned aircrafts, payloads, CGS makes the DoD the single largest consumer of UAV technology in the world. We can predict with a great deal of confidence that the U.S. Government will continue to invest in UAS as much as needed to keep its dominance, both technological and pure force factor, in the next decades. The U.S. military UAV market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10% between 2010 and 2015. These are conclusions of recently released U.S. Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Market Forecast 2010-2015, a new research report of Market Research Media Ltd. The report finds that the U.S. military UAV market will generate $62 billion revenues over the period 2010-2015.
UAVs are a key element within the concept of information dominance. Historically the greatest use of UAVs have been in the areas of intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. While UAVs play an increasing role in these mission areas, we are just beginning to understand the operational impact of multiple UAV operations and their importance to 21st century air power needs and future warfighters. As the US military adapts to a new set of realities and new ways of doing business, greater possibilities evolve for the employment of UAVs.
