will be plenty of things to see and do.
More than 400 exhibitors will occupy

products covering all aspects of
unmanned vehicle and robotics design,
manufacturing, and use including air,
ground, surface, subsurface, space systems,
weapons systems, security systems,
engineering and R&D, propulsion systems,

imaging and communications systems.
In addition to the normal array of
exhibitors, this year's XPO Hall will feature
several new tech pavilions designed

to get attendees up close and personal
with the latest ground-breaking industry-wide
innovations. The Automated
Goods Movement demonstration area,
powered by the AUVSI Ground Advocacy
Group, will give attendees some insight
into the technologies being used to supply
people with the goods they want and
need. The Future Mobility Pavilion is
where attendees will be able to learn how
urban air mobility and automated shuttles
will provide the new, eco-friendly
transportation modes of the future. And
finally, the Maritime Pavilion, powered
by the AUVSI Maritime Advocacy Committee,
will give attendees an opportunity
to check out the latest trends in surface
and subsurface technologies.
The Startup Xcelerator Pavilion will
once again highlight young, innovative
companies looking to gain traction on
their way to the future, and an outdoor
demo area will allow companies to
show off technology unrestricted by the
indoor confines of the XPO Hall.
This year, four international pavilions
have registered to showcase the technology
being developed in Quebec,
Norway, Spain and Switzerland and the
United States will be geographically
well-represented with six State Pavilions
exhibiting the latest innovations and
resources from Colorado, Kansas, Maryland,
Ohio, Oklahoma, and Virginia.
