RUSI(NS) Distinguished Speakers – Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles – Canadian and US Programs

September 14, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm ADT

The Royal United Services Institute of Nova Scotia extends an invitation to members of the Atlantic Canada Aerospace & Defence Association to presentations Wednesday, 14 September by Lieutenant-Colonel Julien Letarte, Royal Canadian Air Force, speaking about the RCAF’s Remotely Piloted Aircraft System, and Major Drew Larned, United States Air Force, speaking about US uncrewed aerial vehicle programs.

Uncrewed aerial vehicles, including remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), are rapidly being developed and employed for continental/homeland defence, security and safety missions by Canada, allies and adversaries. LCol Letarte will brief highlights of the RCAF’s RPAS project to provide a familiarization with this increasingly significant capability. MAJ Larned will speak about US programs, reflective of his experience with the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle.

The event will start at 1 pm Atlantic time, Wednesday, 14 September, then be followed by Q&A and finish by 3 pm Atlantic time.
