Spotlight: Oklahoma UAS and AAM Ecosystem Reflection
By Craig Mahaney, Executive Director, UAS Cluster Initiative

When I took on the leadership role as Executive Director for the UAS Cluster Initiative (UASCI), the senior executive team at our parent company, Development Capital Networks (DCN), asked me to walk them through some of my key priorities during the first 90 days. My response was simple, "listen….and then listen some more." I have now spent the last six weeks visiting with and listening to some of the smartest and most "aerospace-informed" folks Oklahoma has to offer.

This summary reflection aims to let each idea I heard share its own truth and act as an informing mechanism for any future conversations and strategic planning sessions. The goal is to cross pollinate the many outlooks, hopes and aspirations of a broad representation of industry silos. Successful unmanned aviation ecosystem building is a massively complex and rewarding venture requiring engagement, collaboration and commitment from all interested parties. No one gets a free pass.
