Counter-UAS Technology Focus of American Conference Institute Summit

The American Conference Institute (ACI) has announced its 4th Annual National Congress on Counter-UAS Technology, taking place March 18–19, 2026, in San Diego, California, United States.

The event will focus on accelerating technology, policy, and interagency action to counter the rapidly evolving drone threat. Rogue drone incursions are becoming increasingly common, with growing concerns over espionage, sabotage, and airport disruptions underscoring the need for proactive measures.

The highly interactive summit provides a closed-door forum for real-time intelligence sharing and strategic collaboration within the global counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) landscape. The event is held under the Chatham House Rule, ensuring candid dialogue, and strictly vets all participants, with no media or press in attendance, and certain citizens not being admitted.

Key topics at the conference will include hearing directly from top government and defense leaders on how the U.S. military, federal agencies, and allied nations are scaling up detection and defeat capabilities to neutralize next-generation drone threats. Attendees will also learn how critical infrastructure facilities, such as airports, energy sites, and data centers, are responding to safeguard operations and prevent costly shutdowns and security breaches by deploying proven tactics.

The summit will also showcase the latest technology in action, exploring cutting-edge sensors, jammers, AI-enabled detection tools, and integrated systems specifically designed to counter swarm tactics and low-signature drones that are often able to evade traditional radar. The event offers an opportunity to network and collaborate face-to-face with military decision-makers, federal regulators, industry innovators, and risk managers dedicated to protecting airspace and assets.

American Conference Institute, the unique organization hosting the event, is staffed by industry specialists, lawyers, and other professionals. It operates as a think-tank, monitoring trends across major industry sectors, law, and public policy to provide business intelligence to senior decision-makers globally.
