Law-Tech Connect Online 2024
Register (FREE) now to join us Tues, Sep 10th, 9am MT | 11am ET
When referring to the drone and AAM communities, many people say, “The sky is the limit.” It’s really not. Aviation relies heavily on space assets to enable critical operational functions, such as position, navigation and timing (PNT), terrain avoidance systems, command, control, communication, cyber and intelligence data links and more. Join this panel of space and spectrum experts as they explain the parallel universe of laws, regulations, governing bodies, frameworks, authorities and policies that govern what happens in space that affects aviation operations in the sky and on the ground. It’s going to be out of this world! Register now for our special broadcast of the space and spectrum panel from our AUVSI Law-Tech Connect Workshop: The Sky is Not the Limit-Space Is!
