About AUVSI
AUVSI Study Background AUVSI Study Background U S Study ac g ou dU S Study ac g ou dAUVSI completed its first advocacy study in May 2010
Requested by Congressman Buck McKeon (R-CA), Co chairman of the Congressional UAV CaucusCo-chairman of the Congressional UAV Caucus
The purpose of AUVSI’s “Jobs Impact Study” was to assess how increasing demand for UAS will impact economic growth by addressing the following:
• The benefits and success of UAS in the military
• UAS applications beyond the military
• Factors restraining UAS market growth in the commercial and civilian sectors
• The impact on job growth as UAS are progressively integrated into the NASintegrated into the NAS
• An assessment on the types of jobs created

UAS: A Promising Industry UAS: A Promising Industry U S o s g dust yU S o s g dust yUAS are a promising sector of the aerospace industry and have gained widespread attention for the benefits they are providing in the battlefield
• UAS provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) 24/7 in Iraq and Afghanistan
• The U S Air Force is currently flying 41 combat• The U.S. Air Force is currently flying 41 combat air patrols (28 Predator, 12 Reaper, 1 Global Hawk)
• Over the last decade the Army has experienced more than 4 200 percent growth in UASmore than 4,200 percent growth in UAS operational tempo
• The Army surpassed one million flight hours in April 2010
• U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) spending for UAS is expected to total $25.4 billion between 2010 and 2015

The operation of UAS for civilian and commercialThe operation of UAS for civilian and commercial applications has been limited due to the following:
• Regulatory hurdles impeding access to the NAS
• Safety concerns
• Cultural issues
• Cost factors• Cost factors
• Radio spectrum access
• Insurance/liability concerns
Some progress is being made for the operation of small UAS (sUAS) platforms, but widespread use of these systems in the NAS could be delayed beyond 2015.

Types of Jobs Created by UAS Integration
Manufacturing Technicians Regulatory Personnel
The chart at right provides some of the job positions that will be created as the result of UAS integration into the NAS
Manufacturing Technicians Regulatory Personnel
UAS Operators Air Traffic Controllers
Payload Operators ProgramManagers
Employment opportunities in industry will range from manufacturing positions to technical engineering career fields – but there will be demand for a wide range of skill sets from research scientists to advertisers
Consultants Support Staff/Administrators
Data Analysts Maintenance Specialists
Engineers Trainers/Instructors
Colleges and Universities are already anticipating increasing interest from students about pursuing careers in the UAS industry
Sales/Market/BD Staff Professors/AcademicsThe University of North Dakota, Embry-Riddle and Northland Community and Technical College are a few examples of higher education institutions offering UAS related degree and certification programs
Government employment position could also be created as civilian agencies develop and/or augment existing UAS program staff and as regulatory personnel are added to support increased UAS operations in the NAS
