The smallsat revolution has arrived. Tailored data collection with customized analysis is now available for specific applications, anywhere in the world, more cost effectively than ever before. In this session, an update on the latest developments in the commercial space marketplace, as well as a focus on satellite-based hyperspectral data and analysis are finally beginning to deliver detailed insights on the world around us to the response community and industrial operators alike.

As the climate changes and the world is faced with more frequent, more destructive natural disasters, we need to take action. We may not be able to stop the next tsunami, hurricane, or avalanche, but with ongoing aerial data collection, analysis, and change detection technology, we can better predict the timing, severity, and potential impact of these disasters. We can take the right actions to reduce the impact natural disasters have on people and the planet.

Luke Phelps
Vroom Solar, Inc.

Imagine the response to natural disasters if you could produce your own fuel/power, not reliant on gas stations or utility grids. We believe that simplifying solar for the average person with no solar experience can change the outcome of natural disaster recovery time.

C-UAS Hub

The skies are becoming crowded. Drones and traditional aircraft are sharing increasingly complex airspace. Both clueless and nefarious drone pilots create safety and security concerns in our communities, including disaster response operations. Current laws and regulations regarding Counter-UAS can be confusing and limit who can use certain technologies. Thankfully, there are steps that can be taken now by localities to begin to build their airspace awareness and security program.

Daniel Girard
Alternative Power Generation, LLC

Using an event as the backdrop, this seminar will address three-parts. 1) How the power grid reacts during outages. 2) How microgrids augment for sustainability and resiliency, prioritizing critical loads. 3) Key components of microgrids including controls, generation sources, and storage.
