Show Notes – What We Tweeted

• Brigham A. McCown talks about the Alliance for Innovation and Infrastructure and how drones fit into the national infrastructure discussion.
• AII was created to advance the needs of infrastructure, which wasn’t being addressed by the government.
• AII produces information and educational materials geared to Washington, D.C. policy makers, government agencies and administrators.
• AII draws attention to the country’s infrastructure needs and policy changes.
• Drones are a new technology that could transform our society.
• AII works advance the safe use and operation of drones.
• AII is working with governmental agencies to make changes in Federal regulations to support drone use.
• Federal officials support drones, have concerns with ensuring the safe operation of drones.
• Regulations were not designed with drones in mind and making changes at the Federal level takes a lot of time and energy.
• Demonstration projects and test sites are one way to help fast track changes at the Federal level.
• There has been progress in the recognizing the needs for infrastructure investments and new transportation systems, but there is much that remains in these areas.
• As we know, one of the big areas of opportunity for drones is in infrastructure inspections.
• Need to focus on how best to de-conflict airspace, particularly where there is a large number of drone operating.
• As drone usage grows, the potential for conflicts or mishaps increases. Mitigating those risks should be a focus today.
• Ideally, regulations should be consistent, but if the Fed government moves too slow, States & Local governments tend to move forward because they can’t wait any longer.
• We can improve our lives on a daily basis through innovation, technology and improvements in our infrastructure.
