AUVSI New England UAS and AAM Summit: Industry Implications for Evolving Regulations
Last week, Max Rosen from AUVSI Headquarters attended AUVSI New England’s UAS and AAM Summit 2023. AUVSI New England is an active AUVSI Chapter that includes individuals and member companies all across the New England region.
Max participated in a panel discussion moderated by Jeffrey Vincent, Executive Director of the UAS Integration Office and a key FAA champion on UAS and AAM issues. He also had the opportunity to engage with several state-level aviation and aeronautics officials who took a keen interest in AUVSI’s Drone Prepared campaign. Below is his recap of top takeaways from the event:
AUVSI Partnership for Drone Competitiveness
Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by Michael Robbins, Chief Advocacy Officer, at AUVSI Defense on September 14, 2023:
Looking into E&C’s Hearing on AV Regulations in the U.S.
The world of transportation is on the cusp of a revolutionary transformation, and at the heart of this change lie autonomous vehicles (AVs). These cutting-edge technologies promise to reshape our roads, enhance safety, and revolutionize the way we move. This week, the U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee held a crucial hearing to discuss the future of AVs, and AUVSI believe it is a step in the right direction. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why we should wholeheartedly support federal AV framework legislation and embrace the possibilities AVs hold for a brighter, more efficient, and safer tomorrow.
AUVSI Commends Increasing Competitiveness for American Drones Act of 2023

The advancement of uncrewed technology relies heavily on a variety of factors coming together and shaping the future of the industry. The industry is in exciting stages of both innovation and operations and AUVSI is eagerly leaning into both in the new year.
AUVSI Advocacy Successes in FY 2023 Omnibus
As the industry’s leading advocacy organization, this year AUVSI has diligently advocated for appropriations priorities, across all three domains and in the commercial and defense sectors, to advance and scale the uncrewed systems and robotics industries. AUVSI both adopted our own appropriations priorities and advocated for our members’ own appropriations requests.
U.S. House passes Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act
On September 13, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5315 with bipartisan support.
The vote follows a letter sent to House leadership last week by an industry coalition in support of the bill and urging for a swift vote. AUVSI joined the coalition letter and advocated to Members of the House in support of bill passage.

AUVSI’s Hill Week 2021: Advancing the Unmanned Systems Industry’s Future
The core of AUVSI’s mission is to build, grow and foster a viable and sustainable unmanned and autonomous systems industry. Critical to achieving that goal is establishing balanced and appropriate policies that support the development and expanded operation of unmanned systems.
Since the last time AUVSI and members were able to convene for Hill Day in September 2019, the unmanned systems community has made unprecedented, even transformative, progress. A worldwide audience witnessed how rapidly unmanned systems could be developed and deployed to deliver critical capabilities where they are needed most.
