the faa is actively engaged with the community and we are working tosely with our tca -- rtca establish an appropriate technological standard to ensure that we have cyber protections in place of we can ensure the safe operation of these aircraft. i think it is a big issue and it is something that the research we will be conducting in the years ahead needs to be focused on. we have to ensure that these are operating safely. >> do you have the resources now or what resources might you need , analysis resources to really put together a strong cyber security protection system? >> we don't necessarily have a specific ask right now. the budget agreement that is being considered by the congress now does significantly increase the research in the area of unmanned aircraft within the purview of the faa. thinks something that i is a very good thing. likewise, each of the test site operators have developed a research program which they are funding. many states are putting money into this effort. it is a burgeoning area and we have to give it the support that it needs so that we can fully flesh out

working closely with rtca to establish what is an appropriate technological standard to ensure that we have cyber protections in place so that we can ensure the safe these aircraft. i think it's a big issue. and i think it is something that the research that we will be the years ahead needs to be focused on because we have to ensure that these are safely. >> do you have the resources now or -- what additional resources you need, analysis resources, to really put a strong cyber security protection system? >> we don't necessarily have a now with respect to cyber security. the budget agreement that is congresssidered by the now does significantly increase the research in the area of within the perft view of the federal aviation administration. something that i think is a very good thing. the test site of operators have developed a research program, which they are funding and many states are effort.money into this i think it's a burgeoning area, a growing area. give it the support, as was talked about, that it needs so we can fully flush out these questions. >> well, i hope -- i'm glad to
