Following its highly promising launch in early March 2017,
preparations are already in full swing for the second U.T.SEC –
Unmanned Technologies & Security – Expo & Conference. On
Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 March 2018, experts in drones and
unmanned systems will once again meet at the Exhibition Centre
Nuremberg to learn and talk about the latest developments regarding
the use of these technologies, and how to defend against them. The
Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and
Technology, represented by Under-Secretary Franz Josef Pschierer,
will once again assume patronage for the event.
U.T.SEC, held annually at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, is the world’s
first exhibition to focus on security using unmanned technologies and
protection against them. The focus is on both technical and legal aspects
relating to the use of, and protection against, drones and other unmanned
vehicles in public places, in industry, and in security-related fields. The
accompanying conference offers an ideal opportunity for security heads in
industrial firms, authorities and civilian facilities to network, take their
knowledge to a new level and discuss security in the context of unmanned
systems. The range of products and services covered by U.T.SEC includes
unmanned systems, communications, data transmission, positioning,
perimeter protection, electronic fencing, optics, optronics, lighting, training,
service, resources, technical systems for crisis management, analytical
equipment, UAV defence, all kinds of accessories and technical
information. U.T.SEC is held in parallel with EnforceTac, the international
trade fair for command, control and operational equipment used by security
agencies, where a further 200 exhibitors and 3,800 trade visitors are once
again expected.
Conference with its finger on the pulse
The list of presentations for the second edition of the conference once
again includes topics of current interest that will be illustrated and
discussed by top-level international experts on both days of the event. The
product presentations by speakers from the fields of research, law and the
economy, and exhibiting companies at U.T.SEC, will cover the themes of
“Security: Thanks to or in spite of drones?”, “Saving lives from the sky – the
use of drones in water rescues”, “Weather challenge when working with
RPAS in the Arctic region”, “Application of Drones at the Swiss Federal
Railway Company SBB in the context of security-relevant areas”, and
“Maximising operational range and performance through reduced fuel
consumption using smart engine technology”. Further topics will be
published in due course at www.utsec.de/programme.
Powerful partners from trade and professional associations,
consulting and marketing
To meet the tough demands on a subject-area event in a still relatively new
market, U.T.SEC is supported by a number of industry associations and
consulting firms:
UAV DACH e.V. is the largest German-language umbrella association for
unmanned air transport in Europe. It has more than 140 prominent industry
members that are active in the fields of research, manufacturing and
practical application. UAV DACH e.V. represents Germany, Austria,
Switzerland and the Netherlands, through its contacts in the economic
world and policy-makers, and thanks to the expertise of its members and
manufacturing firms, it is the principal supporting institution when it comes
to developing standards, regulations and laws at a national and
international level.
VfS – Verband für Sicherheitstechnik e.V. looks after security concerns and
logistical problems in areas subject to increased security requirements.
These include correctional facilities as well as energy utility companies,
airports, hospitals, forensic facilities, industrial firms, data centres, logistics
facilities, public institutions, shopping malls, banks, and more besides.
Activities focus on ensuring that technological, organisational and
infrastructure elements all work together. The goal of the association is to
optimise technical and organisational activities to improve security in highly
sensitive areas among different user groups.
U.T.SEC is also supported by Butter and Salt tech marketing GmbH, Berlin.
