Who We Are
The Unmanned Aerial Systems Cluster Initiative (UASCI), funded by private industry and a contract with the U.S. Small Business Administration, accelerates the growth of the Unmanned Aerial System industry in the U.S. by enabling established companies and emerging entrepreneurs to connect, work together, and gain access to national technology, global capital, advanced business models and global markets.
UASCI is committed to growing networks related to the UAS and AAM industry in Oklahoma by identifying and supporting early-stage start-ups for the sole purpose of providing tools not easily accessible in this new emerging aviation field. Our vision is the creation of an Oklahoma centric ecosystem made up of industry specific thought leaders, Tribal partners, angel investors, and public partnerships – all well versed in the intricacies of the UAS/AAM industry and its related regulatory pitfalls and public pressures.
