Show Lawmakers that the Unmanned Systems Industry Matters Every day, members of Congress work on legislation that can have a very real impact on the unmanned systems industry. The annual AUVSI Hill Day educates you on how to be the best advocate for your business and brings you face to face with policymakers affecting change. Hill Day gives you the opportunity to explain the importance of unmanned systems and share how policies will directly affect our industry.
