Group Captain Gary Darby, Head of the UK MOD’s Joint C-UAS Office, has been unveiled as a keynote speaker for the upcoming Counter UAS Technology Europe Conference set to take place on 16-17 April 2024 in London.

The Counter UAS Technology Europe Conference is the premier event to explore the latest advancements in C-UAS programs and solutions across the UK and allied nations.

Group Captain Gary Darby’s keynote address is anticipated to provide valuable insights into the UK Ministry of Defence’s preparations for the ever-evolving UAS threat landscape, emphasizing their commitment, leadership, and transformative influence on the industry.

During an interview with SAE Media Group, Group Captain Gary Darby expressed, “I’ve been to several SAE Media Group’s C-UAS Conferences over the past two years and developed a brilliant network of industry, academic, and military colleagues, most of whom I now consider friends. It is these relationships on the personal level that will be key moving forward as we fight the C-UAS battle. Quite honestly, I couldn’t have done that, established my network, without this conference.”

The UK MoD signed a £56 million contract last year to enhance Ukraine’s air defense capabilities through counter-UAS measures.

This highlighted these solutions as a top priority for leading militaries to ensure the safety and security of personnel and equipment in modern conflicts.

Attendees will also receive exclusive insights from Nataliia Kushnerska, Chief Operating Officer of Ukraine’sBrave1, on how they are leveraging tech clusters to rapidly establish a C-UAS advantage at a time of conflict.

Designed to safeguard critical national infrastructure domestically and protect deployed personnel overseas, this event serves as a catalyst for progress in the C-UAS sector.
