Unmanned Cargo Aircraft changes the logistics value chain.

Previous Editions

Unmanned Cargo Aircraft (UCA) or drone delivery offers the potential to transport loads of 1 kg to 10 tons or more over both short (last mile, Urban Air Mobility) and long distances, either on routes that are unfeasible / uneconomical for other modes of transport or that offer new business opportunities. During the conference, internationally renowned speakers will introduce UCA development projects and potential applications.

Scope: The Unmanned Cargo Aircraft Conference brings manufacturers, logistic industry, operators, knowledge institutes, consultants, shippers and governmental organizations active in the field of unmanned cargo aircraft / drone delivery together.

Focus topics of the conference are:

  • Impact of UCA in the logistics value chain and vice versa
  • UCA business models: how to earn money with UCA?
    • First mile delivery
    • Middle mile delivery
    • Last mile delivery
    • Urban Air Mobility
  • UCA configurations:
    • Large / medium size
    • Urban space delivery
    • Medical supply drones
  • Regulatory / Legal issues
  • What can UCA contribute to economic and social development?
  • Market analysis
  • Air Traffic Management (ATM) / UAS Traffic Management (UTM)
  • Integration of systems / technologies required for UCA to operate

Who should attend the conference:
Shippers | Carriers | Research institutions | Military | Aircraft manufacturers | System Integrators | ICT suppliers | Logistic service suppliers | Entrepreneurs | Investors | Airports | Governmental Institutions | Cargo Companies | Fulfilment companies | Retailers | E-tailers | Consultants | Air navigation service providers | Civil aviation authorities | Data and software providers | Infrastructure operators | Telecommunication companies
