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

In August 2025, IDGA's seventh annual Counter-UAS Summit took place, bringing together military experts and government leaders to discuss C-UAS strategies amidst the proliferation of drones and developing trends emerging from recent global conflicts.

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.

The conference featured high-level discussions on emerging CUAS technologies, best practices, and operational strategies from both military and civilian sectors. Critical engagements were delivered, detailing experiences from recent global conflicts.

The 2025 expert speaker panel included:

• Brigadier General Ryan Gunst, Military Intelligence Readiness Command Commanding General, Department Of Defense
• Serge Potapov SES, Executive Director, Flight Operations Division, Federal Air Marshal Service, Transportation Security Administration
• Lewis Monroe III, Associate Administrator and Chief for the Office of Defense Nuclear Security, National Nuclear Security Administration
• Colonel Andrew Konicki, Program Manager, Ground Based Air Defense Portfolio, Marine Corps
• Lieutenant Colonel Lynn Sullivan, c-UAS Division Lead, NORAD & USNORTHCOM
• Sean Haglund, Director, Office of Bombing Prevention, Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security
• & more!
