AURA’s VP Business Development Lisa Peterson participated in an engaging #infrastructure panel at the National Advanced Air Mobility Industry Forum in Springfield, #Ohio. Fellow panelists included Clint Harper, C.M., Erik Amend, PMP, Jennifer Wonjae Kim, AICP, and Seth Timmerman. The panel discussed there being no “one size fits all” for #AAM infrastructure, with specific requirements tied closely to the type of aircraft and nature of operation. Beyond landing infrastructure and charging sites, the panel highlighted the role of “invisible infrastructure”: the #spectrum that wireless communications and radar systems require to support more automated #BVLOS flight operations.

The AURA Network Systems team recently attended the 2024 FAA Drone and AAM Symposium in Baltimore. It was great reconnecting with colleagues across the advanced aviation ecosystem and learning at a variety of sessions. AURA applauds the FAA's progress toward the NPRM for the #BVLOS rule ("Part 108") and #SFAR for powered lift, while also welcoming the recent approvals of #UTM systems for use in strategic deconfliction in North Texas. Personally looking forward to returning to my #Ohio roots to visit with industry and government stakeholders in Springfield, for the National Advanced Air Mobility Industry Forum (NAAMIF) August 20-21. My colleague Lisa Peterson will talk #CNS as part of an exciting Infrastructure Panel!

Great to be on Capitol Hill yesterday with AUVSI — Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International to advocate for the priorities of the U.S. #AAM industry!
Yesterday was my very first Hill Day with AUVSI — Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International! Despite having worked in DC for many years in a past role, this was my first time meeting with members of the House and Senate and I was definitely impressed with all the effort and intention these Congresspeople, Senators, and staffing teams put into every day! Thank you to Nathan Hoback for being our incredible AUVSI guide for the day and to my wonderful team for making this such a successful event for the #UAS, #AAM, and #aviation industry!
