United Voices, Strategic Action
AUVSI’s advocacy work is rooted in our mission to advance the safe and secure integration of uncrewed systems and robotics across all domains. This mission comes to life through a combination of advocacy committees, focused working groups, and coordinated policy campaigns.
These initiatives unite companies across defense, civil, and commercial markets, spanning the Air, Maritime, and Ground domains, to drive effective policy, regulatory clarity, and global competitiveness.
Whether shaping legislation, informing rulemaking, or advancing public-private partnerships, AUVSI leads the charge at all levels of government, amplifying the voices of our members and delivering results that shape the future of autonomy.
State Advocacy Campaigns
AUVSI’s state advocacy campaigns are a critical extension of our mission to integrate uncrewed systems safely and securely across all domains. Through strategic initiatives like Drone Prepared and AAM Prepared, we work directly with state and local leaders to ensure communities are ready to adopt and benefit from next-generation air mobility and drone technologies.
These campaigns bring together industry stakeholders, public officials, and community partners to promote smart policy frameworks, streamline regulations, and support workforce readiness and infrastructure planning.
By equipping states with the tools, data, and resources needed to lead in autonomy, AUVSI is shaping a national landscape where innovation can thrive from the ground up.
Investing in Innovation, Advocating for Progress
The AUVSI PAC is a nonpartisan political action committee registered with the U.S. Federal Election Commission. Contributions from industry executives, member employees, and AUVSI staff are used to support federal electoral candidates who are committed to addressing our members’ needs.
Members are at the Center of All We Do
AUVSI represents the unified voice of the uncrewed systems and autonomy community. We engage with Congress, the Executive Branch, and state and local governments to advocate for policies that reflect the priorities of our members.
Our strength comes from our members. Through collaboration and consensus, we shape policy positions that speak for the entire industry. We keep members informed and aligned with real-time advocacy intelligence, strategic counsel, and tailored communications support.
We provide:
- Real-time policy insights and guidance
- Consensus-driven positions shaped by member input
- Briefs, letters, and messaging tools to support internal and external engagement
