Trends in Unmanned Systems: Modular innovation for Next-Generation Unmanned Vehicles

How can the defense robotics industry leverage innovations from commercial dual-use technologies? And how can modularity drive the delivery of unmanned systems and autonomy at scale and with pace? To delve into these questions, UXV Technologies engaged in an insightful conversation with Jaret Riddick, Senior Fellow at Georgetown University and the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET). During Xponential 2024, amidst a showcase of cutting-edge advancements, Jaret Riddick and Frederik Bergenfelt Friis, Chief Strategy Officer at UXV Technologies, shared their expertise in an interview.
