The Congress opens with a keynote address by Brigadier Grant Chambers, Director General Joint Warfare, Australian Defence Force, followed by a Q&A led by Rob Sutton, Head of Braiin AI and Robotics, and a panel with Neil Hart, Strategic Advisor, Defence, Air & Space, Queensland Government, on defence robotics, uncrewed systems, counter-UAS and the protection of critical infrastructure and national security.
Mr. Sutton will also moderate a founders’ panel on what is required to enable a sovereign RAS capability in Australia, with the founders of Ichor Autonomy and Skyborne Technologies, Beaten Zone Venture Partners and AutogenAI, and will close the day moderating a panel on what it will take to protect Australia’s critical infrastructure ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with Des Lacy OAM, Head of Security, Brisbane 2032; Superintendent Paul Hart, Queensland Police Service Commander and Program Manager, Brisbane 2032; and DroneShield. A further session presented by Braiin on international collaboration brings together Invest Gold Coast, Trade and Investment Queensland, the High Commission of Canada and the Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia and New Zealand.
Mr. Sutton is a former Australian Army aviation engineer who has worked on the Army’s uncrewed aircraft programs since 2008, when a deployment to Afghanistan first exposed him to the operational potential of drones. He has since helped the Australian Army implement five drone programs and advised defence, government, mining and agriculture clients on the strategy, regulation, airspace approvals and operation of autonomous systems. He is a Fellow and Chartered Professional Engineer of Engineers Australia, a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland and a Certified Practicing Project Director.
“Counter-UAS and sovereign autonomous capability have moved from the margins of defence planning to its centre,” said Rob Sutton, Head of Braiin AI and Robotics. “Global Drone brings together the Australian Defence Force, state government, industry founders and international partners in one room. Presenting the Defence Robotics & Counter-UAS Congress reflects the role Braiin plays in helping defence and critical-infrastructure operators adopt uncrewed systems safely and at scale.”
“This gives Braiin a direct line into Australia’s defence and critical-infrastructure market for autonomous systems,” said Natraj Balasubramanian, Chief Executive Officer of Braiin. “Combined with our AI platform and our agricultural drone capability, it positions the Company across the full spectrum of uncrewed-systems applications, from farming to defence and security. In August this year Braiin filed ten defence-technology-related copyright applications with the US Copyright Office, which are currently pending registration, underlining the depth of our commitment to this sector.”
