TIME Business technology Industry Gathering Aims to Reshape Future of Americas Drone Business Getty Images How Robofestan informal meeting of aerospace industry veterans, government insiders, and Beltway think tankersaims to reshape the U.S. commercial drone industry
At Robofest, first things first. First theres the wine, provided courtesy of one of the Washington, D.C. areas most influential aerospace consultancies. Once youve filled your plastic cupthis affair is more backyard barbecue than society eventtheres the meet and greet, an opportunity to check out the credentials of those around you: an aerospace industry executive, the economic development chief for a western U.S. state, a dean of engineering for a prestigious American university, several D.C. think tankers, lobbyists, lawyers. But the very first person you meet is Darryl Jenkins, chairman of the American Aviation Institute, consultant to airlines and aviation companies and host and creator of todays event.
Jenkins is a well-known personality in the aerospace and aviation realms. Hes been in the room for more or less every major airline merger and bankruptcy restructuring over the past few decades. Hes spent his career lecturing to and on the aerospace industry, having taught for several semesters at George Washington University while publishing countless papers and research reports as well as one book on the industry. Hes the guy that goes on Bloomberg TV and CNBC to explain these things to the world. Jenkins knows a whole lot of influential people in the aviation and aerospace worlds. A lot of those people are here at Robofest today. They, like Jenkins, share a keen interest in the next generation of aerospace technologythe various unmanned aerial systems commonly and collectively known as drones.
Its a pitch-perfect afternoon in late October when Robofest takes place. The setting is Jenkins secluded home in the Shenandoah foothills. This years event is the second in two years, already known as an off-the-record social date that is evolving into an industry movement that Jenkins hopes will pave the way forward for the burgeoning commercial drone industry. (Fortune obtained special permission to write about the event.) On the agenda: An open discussion on how to best move the industry forward, andof coursea bit of drone flying. But first, theres wine and then lunch. No one wants to reshape an entire industry on an empty stomach.
Last years Robofest was mostly a recreational and social affair, Jenkins says. This yearwith some of the more influential minds within the industry, state and federal government, and academia all gathered on his back patioJenkins wants to do more than just talk about what can be done. The drone industry largely sees itself as hamstrung by an overreaching and underfunded Federal Aviation Administration. The industry believes it is increasingly outgunned by foreign competitors operating in more permissive regulatory environments. Jenkins and his assembled cast of industry veterans, lawyers, entrepreneurs, lobbyists, and government insiders want to change that.
When I think about all the airline mergers and bankruptcies Ive been through with this industry, I feel like an old man, Jenkins says, calling his 80 or so guests to order. When I think about UAS technology, Im 16 again. As his guests finish tucking into plates of fried chicken and pasta salad, Jenkins reminds his guests that the point of this gathering is not to sit around throwing rocks at the FAA, an activity that has become an organized sport for advocates of a commercialized drone industry. Today is about hammering out some concrete steps that the industry can take in the near term. Its about keeping the industry marching forward despite bureaucratic inertia.
Jenkins turns the floor over to his keynote speaker, the former CEO of a major Fortune 500 aerospace and defense company and vocal supporter of the drone industry. His comments set off a spirited discussion about what the industry needs, how it can nudge the FAA in the right direction, andmost importantlywhat the industry can do on its own without help from the FAA. (The theme of this years Robofest: Doing it Ourselves.)
No single voice or interest dominates the discussion. Among those that speak up are academics, former FAA officials, aerospace industry executives, drone entrepreneurs looking to build new companies around UAS technologies and services, local law enforcement, and U.S. intelligence employees. One is a lawyer who specializes in the nascent new practice of drone law. Another represents the newly formed D.C. drone lobby backed by Google and Amazon. There are even realtors interested in using drones for aerial photography, which is currently prohibited by the FAA, and a sailing coach interested in applying drones to maritime sport.
Above all, there is money present. Representatives of a $2.2 billion investment fund aimed specifically at drone infrastructuresuch as air traffic control technologies to allow drones to safely operate alongside conventional aircraft in U.S. airspaceweigh in during the discussion. For more than an hour the discussion ping-pongs around Jenkins crowded, sun-dappled patio.
There is disagreement but also plenty of consensus. The large drone industry is well represented on Capitol Hill through the defense and aerospace industries, but the small UAS industryrepresenting aircraft that weigh less than 55 lbs.needs to better organize and represent itself, the group agrees. Small UAS need size-specific regulations so that a five-pound drone flying at 300 feet is treated differently than a large drone. And most of all, the industry needs to work with the FAA, rather than rail against itotherwise, little progress will occur.

UTC Aerospace Systems' employees helped build NASA's Orion spacecraft, which completed its Exploration Flight Test (EFT-1) from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The team provided critical control systems, including active thermal control, pressure control, power control and switching hardware for the Orion spacecraft, as well as key systems for the Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle. UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (UTX).
"We are honored to partner with Lockheed Martin and United Launch Alliance in this important milestone for NASA," said Allen Flynt, General Manager, Human Exploration and Launch Vehicles. "Orion is the vehicle for the next generation of space exploration, and our employees are helping to make that a reality."
The active thermal control system provides pumps and thermal expansion control of fluid circuits for cooling of the avionics boxes. The power control and switching hardware provide power connectivity from external power sources, conditioned power to the crew and service modules, and communication to environmental control and life support systems components.
The pressure control equipment consists of a negative pressure relief valve, which allows for pressure equalization between the vehicle interior and the outside air during reentry in the event the cabin pressure has leakage.
"These systems are key to crew and craft survivability," said Flynt. "Results of this flight test will help inform the development of the crewed version of the Orion spacecraft, which our employees are already working on, for its first un-crewed exploration mission (EM-1)."
The Orion multi-purpose crew vehicle will eventually take humans farther into space than any other space vehicle to date. It will be capable of low-earth orbit and lunar or deep-space mission.
UTC Aerospace Systems also provides critical systems for the United Launch Alliance Delta IV launch vehicle that put the Orion capsule into orbit. These include: the hydraulic power systems that provide hydraulic fluid to steer the launch vehicle; the power control and switching elements; fluid sensing units; and telemetry subsystems for both the common booster cores and the upper stage of the Delta IV heavy launch vehicle.
UTC Aerospace Systems designs, manufactures and services integrated systems and components for the aerospace and defense industries. UTC Aerospace Systems supports a global customer base with significant worldwide manufacturing and customer service facilities.

Students quietly worked in pairs, folding, cutting and gluing the colorful strips of tissue paper strewn across the half-dozen tables in the room.
What looked at first glance like an art class was actually Aerospace Engineering and Aviation Technology, part of a new Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics offering at DuVal High School in Prince Georges County.
Nearly 70 students, including 15 girls, are in the first class of the speciality program, which was created to encourage more students to embrace the study of science and technology and prepare them for careers in the high-demand fields.
Its a real good opportunity, said Jada Williams, 14, adding that she likes building things and has a strong interest in becoming a pilot. It will look good on the rsum.
NASA and the College Park Aviation Museum both located within minutes of the school are serving as partners and helping expose students to career options they otherwise might not consider.
Segun C. Eubanks, chairman of the Prince Georges County School Board, said the program at DuVal is much like other career academies that have opened across the county, part of an ongoing effort by the school system to expose students to careers and prepare them for college.
Rather than just explain to them why they need algebra skills in the ninth grade, this shows them, Eubanks said. They have the experience to delve into a career and get some hands-on work.
Eubanks, who is the director of teacher quality for the National Education Association, said he looks forward to an expansion of such academies into other fields, including education. The aerospace program is a good start for us, and were going to keep it going, he said.
The academies, which began in Prince Georges three years ago, are considered an essential component of the countys secondary school reform. The county has opened 36 career-focused academies, offering 12 career options to 3,400 students who participated in the specialty programs last year. Students are studying everything from information technology to health and bioscience.
But unlike peers in the career academies, the students in the aerospace and aviation program had to test into it, which makes it more similar to the school districts other science and technology programs. Plans call for the program to add 100 students each year, with current students serving as mentors to those joining the program.
