- UAS systems and technology
- Training needs for UAS
- Regulations (operational, development & maintenance)
- Costs and benefits of manned verses remotely manned options
- Case studies in Australian and overseas
- Developing a road map on building UAS capability in an organisation
- Pilot training
- Integrating UAS capability into operational activities and planning
Small workshops will be held for most of the emergency services and utilities which discusses the potential of UAS and developing a road map for deployment. Attendees can also attend workshops run by exhibitors on 24 August 2012.
Associations and groups are invited to also use the conference facilities on 24 August 2012 to run closed meetings.
