About this event
Technology shapes how modern wars are fought and borders are protected.
With the rise in accessibility of unmanned aerial systems, devices such as drones pose a high risk to endangering Australia’s public sector and defence security. With their mobility and low visibility, drones can be used for spying and gathering intelligence, invasion and harassment and, causing physical harm to people and property.
Join ACS NSW as we take a look behind the scenes of Australia’s security solutions with our leading expert speakers who are at the forefront of protecting people and infrastructure from invasions through research, science and latest technology.
Learn how the rapid technological growth in military technology, missile command, technology against terrorism and all things affecting modern combat is not only safeguarding Australia’s defence, but also creating an innovative edge for new industries and job opportunities in the tech space.
