XER Technologies ABLaunching XER heavy-duty drones; 4hr flight time with 20kg payload
At XER we have flown drones for 1000s of hours since 2012 and come to realize shortcomings of the low payload and short flight time of standard drones. This has led us to develop and launch an entirely new breed of drones with up to 20kg payload capability and up to 4 hours flight time, useful for heavy-duty services including inspection, S&R, public safety and more.

ARPAS-UK – The UK Drone AssociationDrone Professionalism means real business benefits now and the future
Drone usage is really taking off, and there are diverse uses across multiple industries, from whale snot-sniffing to air taxis, all being driven by the real business benefits they can bring. This session will discuss and answer the challenges of freeing the societal and business advantages of drones, to realise the immense economic and operational benefits of increased efficiency, increased productivity, and increased safety, underpinned by drone professionalism.

Alex Kehoe
VIZGARDMitigating the Threat Posed by Hostile and Nuisance Drones
The exponential increase in drone adoption globally has borne witness to several high-profile disruptive incidents and a heightened interest in mitigation technologies to protect against malicious or nuisance drones and their pilot. In this talk, Alex offers his unique insight into the counter-drone industry from five years developing market-leading counter-UAS solutions to now providing AI that automates drones and the systems tasked with detecting them.

UAV WORKSTaking advantage of a drone for surveillance tactical missions.
Most police departments use standard multicopter drones and currently have a trial and error based learning process. After 2 years developing we know, what final users want. We have high expertise in tactical missions with specific drones, designed for police and defence purposes. We’ll show in this seminar, how we squeeze all technology possibilities into the drones, to give security professionals a real eye in the sky.

Nexus NineA Successful Operator? A view from below..
Entering the sector as a Remote Pilot and growing into a successful Operator. What should you look towards to operate successfully in any given scale of UAS operations? A breakdown of the requirements, potential barriers, bottlenecks, and risks to look out for. Including a look at where and how to find the right people.

Kenneth Geipel
RobottoThe New Normal of Wildfires and the Need to Innovate
This masterclass will highlight how the climate crisis have caused an increase in wildfire frequency and severity, to the modern-day mega fires. How current wildfire operations are being done, and why these methods are unequipped to deal with the current situation. Lastly why firefighters need innovating their procedures and equipment used, for the benefit of the local communities, the environment, and global health
