Low prices continue. More Domestic Production and that means coming from alaska. I will say in addition to the price, one of our biggest concerns you see, and we think it has gotten to the point where it is willful and every project senator senators talk about and everything is delayed. Delayed. We think it is willful and the weapon of choice of this administration to actually kill projects. It is a big problem. We have time for one more. What sort of assureance has been given that new Mapping Technology will not place the animal life in harms way in an war . It has been proven. The new and old crude oil is that big. The only person who hurts the wildlife is the human being who is shooting them. I know a little like that. They are domestic kateated now. We have wolves sleeping with the sheep. And you guys believed it. In New York Miami philadelphia, and San Francisco people say we have to save those poor little animals. It doesnt affect them. It never has. It is all a myth easily sold
Maintain that. So i guess for me today like to just talk a little bit about you know, where can we start . What can we do now that allows us to bridge that gap between the chicken and the egg . So we have the faa test sites which are great. But at the same time its a little bit of testing in a bubble. To ask research and Development Companies to rapidly iterate their technology and have to every couple of months figure out a time where they can get into a test site. Travel with their entire engineering team. Did they accidental leave the spectrum analyzer at the lab now someone has to fly home to get that. It doesnt allow for very rapid innovation which is obviously not going to let us keep up with the other countries in this world that are anbsolutely reaping the awards and benefits of this technology. Additionally, we must testing it in test sites is not necessarily going to give us the necessary data and logged flight hours to figure out what the hurdles are. What the road blkblocks
Vineyard. He then walked us out took some grapes from that area and grapes from the rest of the vineyard and you could clearly taste the difference between the two sets. He said before today he never knew that existed and that happened in two hours. Congressman thank you for the question. The numbers that auv si put together in 2013, the 802 82 billion in the first ten years, we think as high as 80 could be agriculture. Absolutely. Dr. Williams, i come from a state where the chamber of commerce likes for us to use the phrase significant weather events occur on a common place in a common way. My home state is making a lot of investments in weather related research. One of the things that i understand is that challenge is this requirement to obtain a certificate of authorization coa or a section 33 exemptions which can be kind of challenging and cumbersome. Whats the faa doing to expedite the approval process for this kind of thing. Were actually working in both areas to approve the proc
Source hardware and software and reexamination and redefinition of the role of humans in the operation of these systems. We note in our report that this Research Program is best carried out by multiple government academic and industrial entities and will require effective coordination at all levels. Civil aviation is on the threshold of profound change increasingly autotonomous systems which often happens. Early adapters sometimes get caught up in the excitement of the moment greatly exaggerating the promise of things to come and greatly underestimating costs in terms of money time and in some cases unintended consequences or complications. Will indeed be great. There should be equally little doubt that getting there will while maintaining the safety and efficiency of u. S. Civil aviation will be no easy matter. We believe that the barriers and the Research Program weve identified is a vital next step and that concludes my testimony. Ill be happy to respond to questions. Thank you, dr.
What can drone users and the American People what is a realistic deadline for that integration . I would answer that right now we do have a level of integration. For public aircraft, they are flying every day. Nasa does research. We have Unmanned Aircraft. For civil applications, we are working closely with the faa to verify and validate these Key Technology barriers, the radio communications, the displays for the Ground Control stations to allow the faa to determine minimal operation standards. When can we expect the faa to propose some roles . The faa is working closely with our Administration Partners in the rulemaking process. We are doing everything we can to get that small Unmanned Aircraft rule out. Our main focus is to get it right. The role rulemaking process is deliberative. When you think you can get that out . I can i give you a firm deadline. Do you have a goal in mind . You have a lot of people across the United States waiting. Do you have any kind of working deadline or
