Air

This domain is the most recognizable and well known sector of Unmanned Systems. This industry experienced rapid advancement in technology while fighting our nation’s wars overseas. Many people often view this industry as completely focused on the Department of Defense, rather than the broad stakeholders who use these systems. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or Remotely Piloted Vehicles as some call them, play an important role in public safety. This critical role has led to the rapid expansion of public safety organizations requesting use of our National Airspace through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This caucus is committed to work with these organizations and the FAA to safely integrate these systems into the National Airspace by 2015.
