9:40 AM Spanning The Tactical, Operational And Strategic Dimensions: Mapping Out The UAS Threat Context

• How is UAS technology changing and what impact will this have on future countermeasures?

• Understanding the UAS threat through the eyes of the adversary – what systems will be used and for what purpose and in what environment?

• The tactical threat – single attacks at home and abroad: imagining scenarios of IED targeting and civil aircraft failure via deliberate targeting

• The operational threat – armed UAS in insurgency scenarios for ISR, C2 and engagement

• The strategic level threat – viewing the threat through the prism of warfare transformation in robotics, unmanned systems and information-centric war

11:40 AM Panel Discussion: Defining The Rules Of Engagement

• The challenges in developing common rules of engagement:

- How to identify an ‘enemy’ UAS versus friendly

- How to identify suspicious behaviour

When and where is it appropriate to engage with lethal/electronic countermeasures?

• Working within existing regulations on counter-drone measures in civilian air space
