Beyond Drones: What You Didn't Know About Unmanned Vehicle Systems

The speakers are in Washington as part of the 2011 show of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) at the DC Convention Center August 16-19. The products of their organizations are used for military, civil and first response applications. An example is Northrop Grumman's Global Hawk, which is being used in Afghanistan and to assess the nuclear reactor situation in Japan.
