Alliance -Spotlight on Construction

This is a specialized meeting and networking format designed for the more experienced small business to interact more technically with agencies and prime contractors in the federal construction arena.

We have found that many companies have great past performance, excellent bonding capability and need more than the quick meetings. We have also found that government agencies and prime contractors would like better meetings with more experienced businesses. That is the rationale behind the Alliance Spotlight 2 day events. Attendance will be limited to 50 small businesses (with a maximum of 2 people from each of the 50 companies).

Construction industry companies will apply, and not all will be accepted. Pre-qualified and READY companies will be accepted and scheduled for the meetings.

Emphasis will be on networking, forming and solidifying teaming relationships.http://www.events4gov.com/event/1007

Military Vision Systems

New missions and operating environments are driving the U. S. military to develop innovative technical solutions to improve situational awareness, whether operating in the air or on the ground, at night or in other degraded visual environments. Part of the solution is to be able to “see” the battlespace better than the opponent. To this end, important advances have been made in the sensors, cameras, display, processing, and other technical capabilities needed for the next-generation of vision systems. However, challenges in operator information overload, SWaP balancing, and platform integration remain, and we must ensure that we incorporate the lessons being learned in current operational experiences.

This outstanding conference brings together the key organizations that are shaping the requirements and capabilities of future vision systems.

8/30 - 9/1

Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Amid the continued support and urging by the Secretary of Defense for more unmanned ISR aircraft in the field, billions of dollars continue to be directed toward both procurement and research and development of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs). The Air Force, Army and OSD have all significantly outlined their strategic path and roadmaps for UAS growth while the Navy and Marine Corps are ramping up their unmanned aircraft requirements, procurement and development. In order to meet these demands, UAS sophistication will need to continue to grow considerably, opening the gate to a flood of developmental opportunities in key enabling technologies – what role will your organization play?

This comprehensive conference brings together key officials and representatives from both government and industry that will examine the recent developments, most critical capability gaps, and likely future direction for unmanned aircraft systems.
