America is investing like never before in uncrewed systems - and the stakes have never been higher.
Securing the Edge. Scaling Autonomy.
Robotics and autonomous systems are no longer emerging capabilities. They are shaping outcomes on today's battlefield and redefining how the United States prepares for what comes next.
From Ukraine to Israel to Operation Epic Fury, uncrewed and autonomous systems have moved beyond demonstration into decisive use. They are influencing tactics, compressing timelines, and forcing rapid adaptation across defense strategy, procurement, and deployment.
The U.S. response is equally urgent. The FY27 budget directs more than $70 billion toward drone dominance and counter-UAS capabilities, tripling prior investment, and is anchored by the newly established Defense Autonomous Warfare Group (DAWG). This is not a theoretical construct. It is a live operational force focused on testing, integrating, and fielding trusted autonomy across every domain at speed and at scale.
For those who joined us previously, the shift is unmistakable. What was once framed as potential is now defined by execution. Requirements are clearer. Timelines are shorter. The barrier is no longer just innovation, it is alignment with mission needs, trusted systems, and the ability to deliver at scale.
For those joining for the first time, understand this: the demand signal is not coming. It is here - driven by funding, reinforced by policy, and validated in real-world operations.
AUVSI Defense 2026 is built for this moment, shaping the conversations where demand signal becomes strategy, and strategy becomes capture.
