Wisconsin establishes Unmanned Aerial Systems Board (WUAB)
Wisconsin announced on Wednesday the formation of a new board called the Wisconsin Unmanned Aerial Systems Advisory Board (WUAB), intended to help promote UAS use and development in the state.
The goal of the board, which is made up of private and public users of UAS, is to provide technical expertise and assistance to lawmakers on all things UAS related. The board will also serve as a central organization that can focus on the different safety aspects as they relate to UAS use by civilians. The board will hold quarterly meetings that will be open to the public.
Chris Johnson will serve as the President of the WUAB. Johnson has an extensive background in aerial systems, as he is the founder and CEO of the website PilotTrainingSystem.com. He is also the director of the University of Wisconsin Madison Flight Lab.
