Agenda Now Available for the 3rd C-UAS & Integrated Protection Summit

Unmanned Systems Community to Convene in Huntsville, AL September 1-2, 2026

Huntsville, AL, July 10, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Defense Strategies Institute’s 3rd Annual C-UAS & Integrated Protection Summit will convene senior leaders and decision-makers from the Department of War, federal government, industry, and academia to address the evolving challenges of countering unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). As UAS threats continue to expand in scale, sophistication, and global reach, the Summit will focus on advancing integrated strategies to detect, deter, and defeat these systems while strengthening layered defense architectures across the homeland and operational theaters.

Senior leaders and C-UAS experts will examine how to deepen threat awareness, disrupt and defeat adversarial UAS networks, and accelerate the development and fielding of C-UAS solutions at speed and scale. Discussions will address balancing kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities, advancing joint training and readiness, and strengthening interoperability across services, agencies, and international partners. Join us at the 2026 C-UAS & Integrated Protection Summit to hear from leaders across government, military, industry, and academia on how the DoW and its partners are overcoming challenges and evolving a unified approach to counter UAS threats and protect the homeland and Joint Force.
