The development of UAS (Drone) programs in Washington state government has had a rocky start. Agencies are leery of the public perception of UAS and with somewhat tricky regulations the majority of programs have either been halted or put on hold.

The focus of the discussion will be UAS programs in the Public Sector but will cover a variety of topics.
