Reflecting the market expansion for Unmanned Systems (US) over the next ten years; with total values for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) increasing annually from just over $3 billion in 2011 to more than $5.5 billion in 2019, one of DSEi 2011’s major features was the Robotics and Unmanned Systems Showcase.

Scenario Demonstrations

The purpose of the demonstrations was to show in an active and exciting format how unmanned systems work together, enhancing the mission effectiveness of current operations. All six scenarios were set around a foot patrol in Afghanistan, and consisted of dawn reconnaissance, vehicle checkpoints and arrest, IED detection and disposal, surveillance and overwatch, compound clearance, medical evacuation and perimeter security.

Demonstration participants included: Allen Vanguard, BDB, Datron, iRobot, Marshall, Northrop Grumman, QinetiQ, Recon Robotics and Selex Galileo.

This ran alongside the Unmanned Theatre, which gave the theory to the practical with a full programme of strategic and throught provoking presentations.

Static Display Space

Here you could see the latest UAV and UGV Platforms on the market, allowing you to compare current capabilities and access the latest developments.

Static Displays included UAVs like the ScanEagle from Insitu and the Global Hawk from Northrop Grumman.

The Unmanned Theatre

Set amongst the Static Display Area, was a dedicated theatre specifically for presentations and product briefings from the unmanned systems market. Here you could see companies such as QinetiQ, Cranfield University, Recon Robotics and Selex Galileo talking about the latest advances in this field from the perspective of senior engineers, directors and decision-makers.
