Governor Mary Fallin to Kick off UAS Tech Forum
Governor Fallin has been a champion for the UAS industry from the start. Under Governor Fallin's leadership the Oklahoma Aerospace and Autonomous Systems Council (formerly Oklahoma Governor's UAS Advisory Council) was created in 2011. The Council has gone on to spearhead the State's UAS Strategic Plan. As a supporter of top tier educational programs focused on UAS, test site development, UAS research funding, and manufacturing Oklahoma is positioned to become a national UAS hub.
Governor Mary Fallin urged researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and service providers to attend the UAS Tech Forum in Broken Arrow and stated the state is "just scratching the surface" of the growing industry's potential.
"The UAS industry is intriguing because of the potential economic contributions it can make to existing business segments in Oklahoma like energy, agriculture, weather, defense and logistics," said Fallin. "The work our UAS leaders are doing now will pay off in the future as businesses from these traditional segments continue to learn more how this exciting industry can help their companies grow in previously unforeseen ways."
Register today for one of the largest UAS events in the region, set for Sept. 12-13 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Technology Spotlight
Hyper-spectral 3-D vision for autonomous vehicles, unmanned systems
Air Force Research Laboratory - 711th Human Performance Wing
The Air Force has invented a 3-D, stereoscopic vision system that fuses visible, infrared and multispectral images from multiple cameras for maneuvering unmanned or autonomous vehicles. The technology is available to innovative businesses for development of new products or services.
While 3-D displays are rapidly becoming a popular entertainment medium, their use in real-world settings is not so well defined. Incorporating 3-D technology into the operation of drones may be one of the early applications outside of gaming. A benefit of using a 3-D display with autonomous or remotely piloted vehicles is to allow operators of those vehicles to aggressively maneuver in a complex or dynamic environment.
