Autonomous Systems Revolution: Multi-Domain Mastery in Air, Land, and Sea

Autonomy isn’t the future of warfare; it’s already shaping the battlefield. From aerial swarms to unmanned maritime systems, autonomous platforms are redefining how decisions are made and executed in contested environments. In this session, James Upston, CEO of Archaius, Matt Lake, VP of Federal at HavocAI, and a representative from Babel Street (TBC), join moderator Bryan Guinn, Chief Growth Officer at SBIR Advisors, to explore how autonomy is being deployed across air, land, and sea. The focus goes beyond capability to control; how humans stay in the loop, how systems coordinate in real time, and how trust is built into machines operating at speed. This is what autonomy looks like when it leaves the lab and enters the fight.
