    Admiral Sir George Zambellas, Former First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff from the Royal Navy is lending his support for the conference and had this to say:
    "The Royal Navy's Unmanned Warrior begun the journey of integrating innovation, automated technology and warfare, by drawing on military, industrial and technical leaders to respond to the challenge. Though the environment was largely maritime, it was not solely so, because unmanned systems are not domain bounded, nor is their connectivity, or C2. The Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology Conference intends to explore all these issues through presentations. The focus will be on technological development, brand new concepts and strong leadership in the major warfare fields of Anti-Submarine and Anti-Surface Warfare, Mine Counter Measures and ISR."
