AUVSI is an advocacy-driven organization. Every day, our team works to remove roadblocks for our members, establish public support for uncrewed systems, and promote smart and safe policies on a federal, tribal, state, and local level.

Multiple committees, one mission

They work in the defense, civil and commercial markets and span all three domains—Air, Maritime, and Ground— to advance and scale the uncrewed systems and robotics industries.

• Air Advocacy

• Ground Advocacy

Funding the future of our industry

The AUVSI PAC is a nonpartisan political action committee registered with the U.S. Federal Election Commission. Contributions from industry executives, member employees, and AUVSI staff are used to support federal electoral candidates who are committed to addressing our members’ needs.
