Completely agree with this assessment (just read through all the slides). We’re actually preparing for most of these scenarios already, and already have capacity for planning (and flying) the autonomous and beyond line of sight missions, given FAA authorization. Are already doing construction inspection for Alaska Aerospace Corp at their Kodiak Launch Complex. Working with Univ. of Central Florida on monitoring and mapping prescribed forest burns. Getting permission from Kodiak Electrical to map their entire energy structure, including wind turbines and hydroelectric facilities...Wild Wild West indeed…

"Fundamental Economic Laws Of Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Adopt or Die”

Darryl Jenkins, former director and founder of the George Washington University Aviation Institute presents, "Fundamental Economic Laws Of Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Adopt or Die.” This research examines the economic drivers behind commercial unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and how these will influence the size and scale of UAS traffic management (UTM). The commercial UAS business is forecasted to become one of the biggest growth industries in the United States over the next decade. As a disruptive technology, it will change the way many different markets work. The single biggest revolution will come in the area of logistics. The economic consequences of this disruption will be so great that the future UTM system will be larger than the current air traffic management system by a factor of at least 10 when it commences. The future UTM is forecasted to grow at an exponential rate for at least five to 10 years. It is possible to believe that the future UTM system will handle up to 40 million operations a year when it is mature.

Biography:
Darryl Jenkins has spent his professional career involved in aerospace issues. He was the first director and founder of the George Washington University (GWU) Aviation Institute and was also the director of the Aviation Graduate Certificate Program. While at GWU, he served on a presidential commission involving aviation safety and was the lead on the White House Conference on Aviation Safety and Security. He is the author of 12 books and a regular commentator in the national press involving aerospace and aviation issues. In 2013, he completed the first study on integrating UAS into the National Air Space System for the trade group AUVSI. Since that time, he has concentrated his work on commercial drones. His forthcoming book is entitled "The Handbook of Commercial Drone Economics" and will be published by Routledge Publishers Spring 2017. He is an active Virginia Country Gentleman Farmer and an unabashed Jane Austen fan.
