About the Small UAV Coalition

The Small UAV Coalition is a partnership of leading consumer and technology companies who believe that US leadership in the research, development, production, and application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will benefit consumers in all walks of life. The Department of Transportation’s economic report regarding UAS suggested there were hundreds of use cases for the technology. As a group, the Coalition supports and advocates for a range of law and policy changes that will not only embrace, but encourage, the growth of the UAV industry. www.smalluavcoalition.org
