In recent news, it was reported that the US Special Forces is to be equipped with ‘game-changing technology' for counter-terror operations. The US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), the military branch dealing with "counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, and special reconnaissance", is looking to increase the use of artificial intelligence in all aspects of modern warfare, including drones, to maintain the lead of near peer competitors. *

With this in mind, this year's conference is delighted to welcome the participation of the USSOCOM, US Naval Special Warfare Command and US Army Futures Command, who are set to deliver key presentations how they plan to enhance special operation with robotics. Their presentations include:

• Major Will Taylor, Product Lead for Human Machine Team, PEO SOF Warrior, USSOCOM - "Enhancing the Tactical Lethality and Situational Awareness Capabilities for Special Operations using RAS"

• Senior Chief Petty Officer James Harvey, Senior Enlisted Advisor, N9 Future Concepts and Innovation, US Naval Special Warfare Command - "Applying Artificial Intelligence for Small Unit Maneuver"

• Mr Ted Maciuba, Deputy Director Robotics Requirements, Maneuver Capabilities Development Integration Directorate, Futures and Concepts Center, US Army Futures Command - "US Army Robotics at the Small Unit Level"
