Naval Research Lab Expo
Naval Research Lab, Washington, DC
NRL is the corporate research laboratory for the Navy and Marine Corps and conducts a broad program of scientific research, technology and advanced development. NRL has served the Navy and the nation for 80 years and continues to meet the complex technological challenges of today's world.

NRL conducts a broad-based, multidisciplinary program of scientific research and advanced technological development directed toward maritime applications of new and improved materials, techniques, equipment, systems, and ocean, atmospheric, and space sciences and related technologies. To meet this goal, NRL provides: primary in-house research for the physical, engineering, space, and environmental sciences; broadly based exploratory and advanced development programs in response to identified and anticipated Navy needs; broad multidisciplinary support to the Naval Warfare Centers; and space and space systems technology development and support.

Government and military users across the spectrum of strategic and tactical roles and missions are clamoring for more and better means to collect, analyze, exploit and share full-motion video. And while the deployment of a fleet of unmanned systems has led to a significant increase in the amount of video that can be captured, the means to exploit that video for near-real-time analysis and dissemination lags behind. Multiple, competing video formats, interoperability challenges with legacy ISR stovepipes, the somewhat limited capabilities of current data tagging and metadata tools, and problems associated with already-strained, bandwidth-constricted ISR networks -- all these issues will need to be dealt with if FMV capabilities are to be fully realized.

This outstanding conference brings together the key players and organizations in the FMV community. They will examine the latest OSD, Service and Intelligence community ISR and FMV needs, initiatives, plans and challenges.

The Pathfinder Chapter of the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) will hold our 21st Annual Symposium on March 17th through March 19th at the Von Braun Center. This year's conference will reflect upon the last 20 years of unmanned systems, the state of our current industry and what our future holds.

Pathfinder 2010 will feature presentations and question/answer sessions from robotics professionals and recognized leaders in unmanned systems. Keynote and other distinguished speakers will provide current assessments of trends, technologies, and events. With the robotics field being so dynamic and experiencing such rapid growth, the Symposium will certainly be a highlight of the year. Pathfinder 2009 represents an outstanding opportunity for the exchange of ideas regarding Unmanned Systems, for the establishment of business relationships, and for networking with fellow robotics professionals.

This single-day event series is specially designed for people developing computer systems and time-critical applications serving multiple industries, such as military and aerospace, industrial control, data communication and telephony, instrumentation, consumer electronics, image processing, process control, medical instrumentation, vehicular control and maintenance, embedded appliances and more.

AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems North America 2010 is the premiere 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.

The theme for the MILCOM 2010 conference is "Next Decade of Military Communications." MILCOM is the premier international conference for military communications and attracts a very impressive array of participants with high-level attendance from government, military, industry and academia. MILCOM 2010 will give industry the opportunity to promote communications to all branches of the armed forces, Department of Defense, federal government, and the heads of multi-national forces from around the globe.
