Does the emergence of more capable remotely-piloted platforms, with their increasing utility in the force mix, present an opportunity to the Weapons Systems and Technology community? Can the use of remotely-piloted platforms improve a weapon system’s time into service, operating environment and utility across the different services? This conference aims to provide an opportunity to discuss the context and rationale of using future platforms for which weapon systems could be developed. Please note this conference was originally meant to run for two days but will now only take place on one day. Sponsored by: Proceedings Proceedings will not be released for this conference due to the nature of the topics being presented.
