Brandon Suarez, Plenary Keynote Speaker for Day 2

Brandon Suarez, Engineer, Aircraft Systems Group, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., will be the plenary keynote speaker on the second day of the 2014 ICNS Conference.

Brandon Suarez currently serves as an Engineer for the Aircraft Systems Group of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., where he leads the company’s Sense and Avoid (SAA) efforts, including system development, aircraft integration, and flight testing. The Aircraft Systems Group manufactures supports and operates a variety of proven, reliable, remotely piloted aircraft systems for military and commercial applications worldwide. 

In his current role, Mr. Suarez leads a collaborative team of experts from the FAA, NASA, and several industry partners to bring together the technology needed for a proof-of-concept SAA system on a Predator B UAS. He also is involved in the development of national and international SAA standards through the RTCA Special Committee (SC-228) and other community forums. The goal of these efforts is to write the standards that will be used to certify the unique features of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for flight in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). Prior to joining GA-ASI in 2011, Suarez worked for Aurora Flight Sciences developing unconventional man-packable UAS, some of which are being tested now in combat.
