This year’s theme, “From Battle Field to Farm Field,” will examine an entire spectrum of important measures our nation and the industry must consider and prepare for to meet the ongoing use and growth of unmanned, or remotely piloted, systems within the national airspace in defense and commercial applications. Many of the answers to these questions are being pursued through the development and advancement of restricted airspace and advanced sense and avoid technologies.
