The Future of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in Northern Ohio

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) global market is projected to become a $94 billion industry by 2020 and the Northern Ohio Region is aptly poised to capture a large portion of the market. But taking the lead is going to mean closing the gap and finding solutions to the potential market barriers to entry. Our presentation will explore the history of UAS, system elements and applications. We will examine the industry challenges of safety, privacy, public misconceptions and regulatory hurdles.

Considering Northern Ohio’s manufacturing strengths, industry clusters and niche specialties, Northern Ohio must now take the lead and wholly invest in this potential opportunity.

Mr. Matthew Mishak is the Director of the Northern Ohio Unmanned Aircraft Systems Association (NOUASA), promoting the safe and non-intrusive use and industry of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and aerial robotics in Northern Ohio. Mr. Mishak has been interested and involved with unmanned aircraft systems since 2008. His interests range from the robust and developing field of UAS law and policy to the design and manufacturing of UAS from the ground up. He is inspired by the incredible potential of UAS to revive the economy, especially within the “rust-belt” regions of Ohio. He enjoys teaching and helping to build a knowledgeable local community around UAS, the most transformative new technology of our lifetime.
