Counter-UAS | 2025 Post Show Report

IDGA’s Counter-UAS Summit returned for the seventh year this August 19-20 in Arlington, Virginia. For two days, members of the Counter-UAS community from across federal and state law enforcement, the U.S. DoD, and private industry assembled for important discussions surrounding kinetic and non-kinetic approaches for countering drones, including exploring case studies on specific incidents, insights into the latest innovative C-UAS technologies, and the impact of shifting legal authorities.

With over 300 attendees and 22 speakers, the 2025 summit proved to be the largest yet, which led to a more diverse event program, expanded networking opportunities, and a heavily trafficked exhibition hall. This post-show report highlights the key themes of the summit, shares on-site survey results, and provides testimonials from attendees.
