Quick Summary
The PEO(U&W) Industry Event 2026, originally scheduled for April 8-9, 2026, has been cancelled due to ongoing operations. This cancellation was announced on March 26, 2026, and no additional information is available at this time.
Event Context
This event was initially announced as a Request for Information (RFI) for planning purposes only. Its objective was to determine potential technologies and capabilities from industry to consider for the future of the Navy's Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons Community. It was explicitly stated that this RFI did not constitute an Invitation for Bid (IFB), Request for Proposal (RFP), or Request for Quote (RFQ), and did not indicate that the Government would contract for any identified items or services.
