Counter-UAS Summit

25th to 26th August 2026

National Harbor, USA.

The 8th Annual IDGA Counter-UAS Summit convenes key decision-makers from the US military, federal agencies, allied nations, and industry to collaborate on strategies to respond to the growing threat of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to both military operations and civilian populations. Recent global conflicts along with the increased presence of drones near US borders and military installations have underscored that dominance in drone warfare—and the ability to defend against it—will play a decisive role in shaping global power. To effectively counter drones, it is essential to clearly define and understand the evolving threat landscape and make targeted investments in the technologies and capabilities needed to address it.

Over two days of in-depth learning and engagement, the Counter UAS Summit offers a critical opportunity to discuss the scale and direction of US military investment in Counter drone technologies. With hundreds of millions of dollars being committed—and the recent launch of the first-ever CUAS military marketplace to streamline procurement and strengthen collaboration between government and industry—this is a pivotal moment to gain insight into evolving priorities.

IDGA’s Counter UAS Summit provides a unique platform to network, connect, and learn directly from the decision-makers shaping the CUAS marketplace and broader counter-drone strategy.
