"'In 2040 we're going to have robots!' Well ... what happens in between?" AAL's LTC Nicholas Rinaldi talks to Lawrence Walter of Code19 Racing, the first professional autonomous motorsports team on Earth. There's been so much innovation in the history of auto racing, and much of that has been to the benefit of defense. Nick wants to see the Army increase its willingness to adopt these technologies and be satisfied with less-than-perfect solutions. "If [startups] have it today, we have to start using it. We can't wait 10 years." At least that's what we think he said. Hard to hear over the cars on the track at Circuit of The Americas!

VERTEX | Advanced Autonomy, February 11-12, 2025 VERTEX connects the Army, innovators, and end users with current warfighter needs.

Register for our upcoming Beacon for Assured Landing Location webinar! Landing drones in contested or austere conditions is a challenge. To reduce operational and safety risk, the Army wants an innovative system to direct aerial vehicles to exact landing zones, aboard a vehicle in motion, or on uncrewed platforms.

A new Direct to Phase II SBIR opportunity is coming soon! Does your company design and develop UAS precision landing technology? We’re looking for technical experts who can increase the accuracy of automated drone landings onto uncrewed platforms and surface areas in highly congested or adverse environments with little or no input from a human operator. Total funding for awards is $1.6 million for an 18-month period of performance.
