The USIC is also engaged in important industry outreach programs such as Aviation Awareness Day ( Figure 10 ), where UAS industry and council members are given an opportunity to share with state legislators the latest initiatives and technological innovations representing current trends in the UAS industry .
The Unmanned Systems Industry Council understands the importance and benefits that unmanned and autonomous systems will play in our future commercial infrastructure , and the critical steps that must still be taken to foster growth in this segment within Washington . We all look forward to the future collaboration among industry , public leaders , and our public partners in leading this important initiative . If you are interested in joining , reach out — we welcome you to the USIC team !
