Isn't that information enough to make you want to know more and look into what's a big economic development driver right here in Mesa?
That's the forecast from an article online yesterday about stakeholders from throughout the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) community writing a letter to Trump – from manufacturers to business users to government officials – urged the creation of a pilot program for state and local governments to work with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to integrate UAS into the skies above their communities.
The letter, led by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), details the importance of federal control of the airspace and outlines a pilot program to get input from states and municipalities to develop policy on UAS operations.
"Industry-government collaboration is critical to identifying common solutions to the industry’s greatest challenges, such as airspace integration” said AUVSI president and CEO Brian Wynne.

Arizona UAS Summit Adds Tour of Polytechnic School at ASU to Program Agenda
Mesa, AZ – (October 11, 2017) – – Last week, the 2nd Annual Arizona UAS Summit & Expo announced they have added an industry tour to the program agenda. The specialized tour is designed specifically for the attendees of the Arizona UAS Summit and will provide opportunities for attendees to visit with the brightest and best researchers, faculty, students and experts at the award-winning Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at the Polytechnic School on the campus of Arizona State University.The tour will provide guests access to four separate sessions and tour stops—each highlighting the work being done to train future pilots of manned and unmanned aircraft on earth and in space. And, at the additive manufacturing lab, guests will have the chance to see how cutting-edge materials are being implemented into automated processes, robotics and aerospace applications.
“The tour of ASU’s award-winning facility is a great addition to the conference,” says Luke Geiver, Managing Editor of UAS Magazine. “Guests will be able to get a closer look at the training of future unmanned aerial pilots and cutting- edge technology ASU provides on campus.”
The tour will take place from 1:30pm-4:30pm on Monday, November 6th.
This tour will highlight the future of the UAS industry and will be a precursor to the start of the Arizona UAS Summit & Expo that will highlight the crucial storylines and emerging trends shaping the unmanned aircraft systems industry on the national and Southwest U.S. regions

UAVOS enhances GPS spoofing protection for UAVs
UAVOS has improved the GPS spoofing identification algorithms for its UAVs, protecting against jamming by the most advanced electronic warfare (EW) systems, the company announced on 9 October.During the test flights, UAS were equipped with an automatic control system that steadily resisted attempts to interfere with the operation of the on-board GPS autopilot.
According to Vadim Tarasov, UAVOS investor and board member, in a GPS denied envrionment, the UAVOS measures against GPS and other GNSS signals spoofing attacks allows the timely disabling of the GPS navigation and a switch to autonomous flight with onboard integrated inertial navigation system.
The advanced UAVOS countermeasure system ensures the protection of unmanned aircraft, increases survivability and the efficiency of the UAV.
An UAV equipped with a complex of countermeasures against EW systems allows them to return to base and carry out its mission with navigation error of 1.2–2.5 miles per flight hour.
Vadim Tarasov said: ‘The GPS spoofing attack countermeasure system is the result of many years of systematic work by UAVOS in the field of EW countermeasures.
‘Test flights of our unmanned vehicles showed the effectiveness of the mission accomplishment in conditions of a complex interference and the invulnerability of unmanned vehicles to the latest generation EW systems.’
