A Unified Voice for Defense
AUVSI’s Defense Advocacy Committee brings together diverse industry perspectives across domains – air, ground, maritime, and cyber – to focus on challenges the industry faces; seize opportunities across the DoD, service branches, and Congress; and support a strong defense industrial base to ensure that the U.S. remains at the forefront of autonomous defense technologies.
