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 CUAS 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.
