Strategic Insights, Tactical Solutions: Exchange Ideas and Expertise at the Forefront of Counter-UAS Efforts.

With the evolving threats posed by unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and the rapid advancement of drone technologies, U.S. and allied forces are continuously designing, testing, and deploying next-generation counter-UAS systems. To effectively address these threats, countermeasures must be adaptable and ready to respond to increasingly creative adversarial tactics.

With this in mind, IDGA is excited to host the 7th annual Counter-UAS Summit, taking place August 19-20, 2025 at the Westin in Arlington, VA. Join us as we explore the latest advancements and strategic insights shaping the future of counter-UAS technologies. The conference will feature high-level discussions on emerging CUAS technologies, best practices, and operational strategies from both military and civilian sectors. This year, we will also highlight the impact of recent conflicts—such as the Ukraine/Russia and Israel/Gaza wars—on CUAS technologies and operational strategies. Additionally, we’ll delve into the integration of counter-UAS systems into combined arms operations, including lessons learned from recent global military engagements.

Join us to network and hear from expert speakers, including:

• Lewis Monroe III, Associate Administrator and Chief for the Office of Defense Nuclear Security, National Nuclear Security Administration
• Garry Bishop, Deputy Director, Land and Expeditionary Warfare, Operational Test and Evaluation, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Department of Defense
