dr. lauber talk about. one of the key research areas are the cybersecurity issues, to associate with the uplink, command uplink. >> last question has to do with utilizing these for high altitude subspace maybe you know, launch and return capabilities, high altitude subspace for say whether evaluation, things like that. is that something that is on the drawing board? >> one of the biggest potential markets is actually the use of these vehicles for high altitude relay for basically internet on the surface. so you can have long persistence of vehicles at high altitude that can act effectively as satellites in the doing broadband redistribution to the ground. >> i guess might be part of last question would be, for instance, an unmanned flight to the international space station. do you for see everything capability for launch in return for a mission like this because we do it today. we have unmanned giggles that are flying cargo missions to the space station today. >> all right. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank

dr. lauber i might start with you. i've heard a couple of things that talks about the potential of the unmanned industry public and privately and then also the importance of safe integrating these unmanned systems and to the national airspace. speaking about that and realizing the speed in somebody's innovations are happening it seems that should be a primary focus of what we are talking about. i am curious about the investment of harmonizing systems with the manned platforms specifically talking about collision avoidance systems and general perhaps specifically in a bsp transponder in those kinds of things so if you could talk a little bit about that. >> i think you have already addressed some of the key considerations that we took up in our report. clearly in order to achieve success in integrating these systems into the airspace and in realizing the potential benefits of the systems we have to do it in such a way that safety is not adversely impacted. it will not fly so to speak to introduce these things in such a w

dr. lauber, you mentioned this in your testimony a while ago but what technologies need to be priorityized before the nas integration? what are the -- >> well i refer to what we believe is probability the highest and i think a couple of the other witnesses also mentioned the need for technology that provides the equivalent of see and avoid. the sense and avoid technology that needs to be in place for full integration of a wide range of these vehicles into the aviation system. that would be the highest priority. >> okay. thank you. mr. wynn and mr. gwen we have the government on one side as part of the process an we have the private sector as part of the process as well. what are the contributions of the private sector to the integration? >> my brief mr. chairman is that the industry is going to bring the lions share of the technology solutions as it should. companies like 3d robotics at the end of the day, they are constructing the devices, they are developing the software not just directly in the industry the micro processor speeds are getting faster et cetera,et. so this was really the s

dr. lauber. mr. wynne. >> chairman smith ranking member bonamici, i'm speaking on behalf of association for unmanned vehicle systems international, the world's largest nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to advancing the unmanned system and robotics system. currently we have more than 7500 members, including over 600 corporate members. as you know, uas increased human potential allowing us to execute dangerous or difficult tasks safely and efficiently. whether it is assisting first responders with search and rescue missions, advancing scientific research or helping farmers more efficiently spray crops, uas is capable of saving time, money and most importantly, lives. however, the benefits of this technology do not stop there. it has incredible potential to create jobs and stimulate the u.s. economy as well. in 2013 uvsi released an economic impact study that said following the first ten years, uas industry will create more than 100,000 new jobs and have an economic impact of more than $82 mill
