Date/Time: Wednesday, April 5 at 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET Webinar Description: DIU’s Blue UAS program has made it easier for government agencies to procure commercial drone technology that’s cleared for use by the DoD. But it’s also created an ecosystem of drone component manufacturers that are pushing the envelope in the development of new technologies, collaborating to build powerful integrations and increasingly benefitting not only government customers, but commercial and industrial companies and the entire UAS industry. Join Doodle Labs, DIU and key Blue ecosystem technology leaders as they discuss the program, their drone innovations and where the industry is headed. Speakers:
