Environmental Monitoring--Radiation Incident response; wave height measuring technology

Remote Manipulation—Handling explosive / hazardous materials, robot locomotion.

Situation awareness to address safety (location of fires, hazards, safety zones) as well as use in surveillance/police action

Communication/data relay Technology that facilitates shared awareness

Final Panel discussion topic will be the "The Art of Technology Transfer" will discuss licensing, CRADAs ,and partnerships

Plenty of networking opportunities between panel discussions and during lunch
