Recently UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) have grown in importance, effectivity, and range. Tens of millions of 3D printed components, iterative development, and rapid capability increases have come at a blistering pace. Now, long-range drones have disrupted energy markets, putting global economies on the precipice. The antidote? Interceptor drones, bristling with 3D printed components. Additive Manufacturing is used both to make low-cost drones close to the front lines in austere conditions, and also in world-class facilities to produce complex, weight-saving components for platforms worth tens of millions of dollars. US General Richard Clarke said in 2022,

“First, as we think about this problem, I’ve been in the Army for 38 years, and in my entire time in the Army on battlefields in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Syria, I never had to look up.

But now with everything from quadcopters — they’re very small — up to very large unmanned aerial vehicles, we won’t always have that luxury.” |

This is the new reality. Given the impact UAS systems have had, it’s time to really understand the UAS opportunity and threat. It’s clear that the combination between AM and UAS is synergistic. Where is this development headed? What is set to happen? Join us…
