DoD APPROVALThe Department of Defense no longer issues approval letters for “widely attended gatherings” such as conferences and symposia. Individual DoD Component commands or organizations are responsible for approving at-tendance of its DoD employees based on mission requirements and DoD regulations.

AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems North America 2009 is the premier forum for reviewing, assessing and discussing the successes and shortcomings of current unmanned systems. The conference, with an expected record turnout, will bring together the key leaders and decision-makers in the industry. Officials from government and user organizations around the world will be in attendance and participating in the symposium program.

AUVSI Foundation’s Youth Education ProgramThursday, 13 August n 0800 – 1100 hoursthe aUVsi foundation’s youth education Program is a free educational program open to middle and high school students. the program introduces future generations of scientists and engineers to the exciting world of unmanned systems. after a brief presentation, the students will be taken in groups through the exhibit hall to visit with participating companies where they will learn about real world applications of their math and science lessons. hands-on, interactive experiences will be conducted along the tour. students will also have the opportunity to meet and speak to participants from aUVsi’s 2009 student competitions.Price: No Charge (registration is required; space is limited)

there is no fee for children to attend, however a parent or guardian is required to register their child in order for them to participate in the program. this program is open to middle and high school students only. children will be split into supervised groups of 10-15 for tours of the exhibit hall. Parents and guardians will be allowed to attend the presentation, however due to space limitations they may not be able to join the group tours of the exhibit hall.

Meeting of ASTM International Committee F41 on Unmanned Maritime Vehicle Systems (UMVS)Tuesday, 11 August n 1430 – 1630 hoursastm international committee f41 on Unmanned maritime Vehicle systems (UmVs) will hold a meeting of subcommittee f41.05 on maritime Regulations. this is an open forum for those interested in the current legal situation regarding UsV operations in public water space, and to present efforts to develop UsV specific rules and guidance through consensus standards. generally there is no clear guidance in the 72 coLRegs regarding UsVs and UUVs operating on the surface which leaves UsV operations open to wide interpretation on a case-by-case basis.the astm f41.05 subcommittee provides an opportunity for the community to participate in the development of amendments to the 72 coLRegs, and establishment of clear guidance for safe UsV operations in specific environments, navigation conditions and waterspace. if you would like to be part of this ground breaking process, attend the forum, or contact mr. eric hansen at [email protected]. a brief overview of the other activities of f41 will accompany this session.Price: No Charge (registration is required)

0800 – 0900Continental Breakfast with the Exhibitors

0900 – 1130Panel: Access to Airspacethe civil airspace must be shared by all users, manned and unmanned, to support national defense, homeland security,

civil government, commercial applications, and general aviation. as the use of Uass increase, they must seamlessly integrate into the current infrastructure while conducting safe, efficient, and effective operations. to this end, there are a number of key Uas-related regulatory and technology issues which must be jointly addressed by caa’s, militaries, and the Uas industry, which include design and performance, continuing airworthiness, flight operations, communications, and operator qualifications.

this panel discussion will provide the unmanned systems community with an understanding of the evolving certification issues within global regulatory frameworks and the role of standardization, all against the backdrop of some of the “lessons learned” by those who have been regularly engaging in Uas operations.

1600 – 1730Panel: Ethics in Armed Unmanned Systems in CombatHosted by Booz Allen Hamilton featuring PW Singersince 9-11 when the global war on terror began,

Unmanned systems have seen a significant growth in platforms. initially they were used for persistent sensor surveillance and cave searches. Later in the war they were used to locate, identify and destroy improvised explosives devices (ied’s) as well as provide the battle commander with a real-time tactical “eye in the sky” able to report to platoon level operations. these platforms can be used for various missions and must have the flexibility to adapt to different circumstances as the war’s landscape changes. during the last 3 years we have seen the addition of lethal force in Unmanned air systems as well as armed Unmanned ground systems. Using a weaponized system capable of engaging a human on the battlefield keeps the operator away from a direct threat. however, the idea that “Robots” are taking on the human aspects of combat is still causing concern. how will these systems be controlled? will the use of lethal force be automated or will a human still need to engage the system? will this cause a lack of humanism in war? could robots or their operators potentially be accused of war crimes if they kill people? what are the issues as we move forward to arming more Unmanned systems and who will decide when to use lethal force?

Packed with famous places and world renowned faces, free attractions, and an endless calendar of special events, wash-ington, dc offers exciting experiences year round.

beyond washington dc’s most familiar vistas, the capital city unwinds into a lively urban center filled with colorful and diverse neighborhoods, hip boutiques and galleries, historic homes and small museums, urban parks and spectacular gardens. casual cafes and upscale bistros line the trendy streets of georgetown, while the downtown district sizzles with a host of new restaurants. spontaneous Jazz notes tumble out the windows of U street’s nightclubs, while world-class performers take the stage at the highly acclaimed Kennedy center. Kayakers tackle the Potomac River as it winds past the elegant marble tributes to america’s great leaders.

hotel information

making your hotel reservation at one of the designated conference properties saves you money and helps aUVsi. each room credited to aUVsi helps us build “buying power” to negotiate discounted rates in future years.

to make your hotel reservation for aUVsi’s Unmanned systems North america 2009, contact one of the four designated aUVsi conference hotels listed below. the hotel reservation cut-off date is thursday, 9 July 2009. Reservations made after this date will be on a space available basis and the discounted rate may not be honored.

government Rate: a limited number of government rated rooms are available at the published 2009 federal per diem rate for U.s. government and active duty military conference participants who are traveling on government travel orders. failure to provide a copy of your travel orders upon check-in at the hotel will result in your reservation being honored at the current hotel room rate, known as the “rack rate” (which in most instances will be more than the aUVsi conference rate).

Please note: government contractors not traveling with government travel orders are not eligible for this rate. Please do not reserve a government rated room if you do not meet the above criteria as this limits the opportunities of others to attend the conference.
