The GPS World and Geospatial Solutions staff is reporting live from the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International‘s (AUVSI’s) Xponential 2016 May 2-5 in New Orleans. The event convenes the global community of commercial and defense leaders in intelligent robotics, drones and unmanned systems.More than 8,000 industry leaders and professionals from more than 55 countries are discussing the latest innovations in the unmanned systems market this week. Hundreds of educational sessions are providing information about the future of unmanned systems policy, regulations and technology. Also, the show’s Startup Showdown has $15,000 in cash prizes and mentorship opportunities for start-up companies.
Award-winning journalist Miles O’Brien, the science correspondent for PBS NewsHour, is hosting the event. Keynote speakers include Michael P. Huerta, administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); Gen. David G. Perkins, commander of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command; Gur Kimchi, co-founder and vice president of Amazon Prime Air; and John Chambers, executive chairman of the board of Cisco Systems.
A panel of industry thought leaders, moderated by AUVSI’s president and CEO Brian Wynne, are discussing the future of unmanned systems: U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo, chairman of the House aviation subcommittee; Frank Kelley, deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Navy for Unmanned Systems; Marke Gibson, senior advisor for UAS integration at the FAA; and John Cavolowsky, Ph.D., director of NASA’s Airspace Systems Program.

AUVSI provides interactive map of UAS legislation
As the 2016 legislative session kicked off this month, the Association for Unmanned Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI) has been tracking all active legislation pertaining to unmanned systems. This year, to provide the best information to its members, legislators, regulators and the media, AUVSI has organized data on all unmanned systems-related state legislation into a sortable, interactive map with details that include a summary of each bill.
Included are bills that place restrictions on police, recreational or commercial unmanned aircraft systems; legislation that forms unmanned systems or autonomous vehicle commissions and task forces; bills that try to treat unmanned technology differently than other information-gathering devices; and bills that place operating limitations on unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in specific scenarios such as preventing all UAS from flying over prisons or from interfering with hunting and fishing.
To date, more than 150 active bills in more than 30 states have either carried over from 2015 or been introduced this year.
See the map below.
