Since 1972, the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) has enabled technical innovation, supportive policy, and inspired academic breakthroughs in the uncrewed industry.
Making Autonomous Innovation Possible
Our Vision
To create a future in which remotely operated and autonomous transportation technologies are fully accepted, valued and utilized to move people, things and data safely and efficiently, providing broad and lasting economic and social benefit.
Our Mission
To move the world toward this vision, the Association serves as the industry’s focal point to connect, convene, communicate and collaborate.
- We connect thinkers, designers, makers, operators, and users to >share insights and ideas, to turn questions into answers, and to learn from each other.
- We convene buyers and sellers to create market opportunities and commercial capacity.
- We communicate the value and benefits of uncrewed systems technology to the public and stakeholders.
- We collaborate with policymakers to implement effective and appropriate legislation and regulations to fully and safely maximize the benefits of the technology.
Our Strategic Plan
As a nonprofit, volunteer-led organization, AUVSI represents perspectives from the entire uncrewed industry. Our strategic plan includes goals and priorities that ensure the long-term growth and ongoing success of uncrewed and autonomous technology.
Our History
Our work began in December 1972 as the National Association of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (NARPV). Today, as the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), we advance autonomous innovations on the ground, in the air, and at sea.
