Unmanned Systems 2015 was billed as the place to see a comprehensive collection of unmanned systems for every domain -— air, ground and maritime. This year, 600+ exhibitors crammed into the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta and strutted their stuff to more than 8,000 attendees.

Kairos makes systems that let ordinary vehicles be remotely driven, generally so they can be used for target practice with live ammunition.
