Description

This collaborative workshop is the continuation of a lively discussion that began at XPO Orlando, and will also provide a summation of follow-on events that spread the discussion to other venues over this past year. The participants will discuss successes and opportunities for future successes in the partnership between Federal, Tribal, State and Local government in enabling repeatable Uncrewed operations. An example includes how one airport serving the oil industry has successfully partnered with local and state governments to accelerate preparing for both large UAS operations and future eVTOL AAM operations back and forth to oil rig platforms over open waters. While sharing experiences, participants will highlight what worked well, what stalled progress, and how they found the path to enabling UAS operations that met local needs while satisfying state and federal requirements. Take aways from this workshop will include lessons learned at each level and opportunities to apply their models to other Federal, Tribal, State, and local government decision makers looking to coordinate UAS operations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Improve awareness of paths to successful UAS communications across government decision makers
  • Provide real examples illustrating steps to engagement at any level
  • Continue to normalize/streamline inter-governmental UAS communications processes

Agenda:

  • Quick review of the dialogue path since Orlando
  • Unanswered Questions
  • Success Stories
