- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Forecasts vary from 2 to 90 billion U.S. dollars Globally.

In the next few years 40% of U.S. military air missions will be unmanned!*

However, these numbers are Congressional Mandate and regulatory dependent. •Expedited COAs•Test Centers•FAR 107 (sUAS ARC)•September 2015 UAS integration into

Ways To Meet The Potential_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Create and foster the technology ecosystem

(hardware, information and software literacy)

• Infrastructure (places to test and fly)• Human capital (STE(A)M Education) • Technology business environment

More Ways To Reach The Potential_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Companies need to position themselves for the regulations and Congressional mandates.

States/municipalities should join the standards group efforts. (ASTM, RTCA, SAE et.)

Federal and State representation should contact the Acting FAA Administrator and discuss regional goals and aspirations.

Academic Engineering departments et al are encouraged to do the same.
