New and only at XPONENTIAL 2024, AUVSI Defense will host outdoor demonstrations of multi-domain warfighting capabilities for defense military and civilian representatives. Our goal is for attendees' first-hand observations to serve as a pathfinder for defense agencies' production and R&D investment decision-making. Demonstrations of platforms and technologies in the air, maritime surface, and maritime subsurface domains will be conducted from Pepper Park to Point Loma and around San Clemente Island.
Topics of demonstration include:

Those in uniform from the military and first responder community will also be able to attend the AUVSI Defense Theatre on the exhibition floor. Please note that this complimentary pass cannot be obtained online.
