Program
Evening session — July 15, 2026 · Station DC
Integrated UAS Re-Design & Re-Certification DEMO
The evening session gives participants a firsthand look at how the methods discussed during the day are being applied across government and industry.
A live demonstration will show how five or more fully interoperable, AI-native tools and agents can integrate new sensor and compute capabilities, update an entire UAS design, and re-certify it for manufacturability and safety in less than an hour…
