Description
The US Army is hosting a Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) Summit on 18-19 August 2026, in the vicinity of Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The purpose of the event is to sync stakeholders in the acquisition, RWS, industry, and user community, and have discussions on current, emerging, and future efforts, seeking opportunities for increased efficiencies. Industry partners are invited to present briefings at the RWS Summit, which will provide an opportunity to present concepts, prototypes, and hardware to formal program acquisition authorities, RWS industry partners, RWS requirements writers, military research and development laboratories, and rapid prototyping offices from across the military services and special operations communities.
• The event will serve as market research for RWSs and technologies, including enablers supporting small and medium caliber crew-served weapons, optical sensors, launched effects, robotic technologies, and Counter small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-sUAS) capabilities.
• The first day of the summit will be for U.S. Government (USG) only, and a no-host social will be planned for the night of 18 August 2026, for both USG and industry partners.
• Participating vendors/Government entities are invited to present a briefing at the RWS Summit, and industry briefings will be to a USG only audience, unless otherwise specified by the vendor.
• Due to venue space constraints, industry partners are limited to informational briefings, and no large static displays will be allowed at the RWS Summit.
