SOFWERX will host the second ThunderDrone Rapid Prototyping Event Tech Expo on 29 January to 1 February 2018. ThunderDrone is a USSOCOM initiative dedicated to drone prototyping, which focuses on exploring drone technologies through idea formation, testing, and demonstrating efforts that are being conducted collaboratively with the Department of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office at our SOFWERX facility in Ybor City, Florida. This initiative is attracting collaboration from small businesses, industry and interagency partners, academia, innovators, all U.S. military services and warfighters. The current event will focus on Counter Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-SUAS) and welcomes selected participants to showcase their capabilities that address any part of the C-SUAS kill chain. ThunderDrone has particular interest in solutions that provide hard-kills (permanently defeat drones), but will assess all new, novel, and provocative technologies.

The deadline to submit technologies for the current Tech Expo is 22 December 2017.

Further details regarding the event and submission information are located at www.sofwerx.org/thunderdrone.
