Revolutionary UAS Projects. Real-World Applications. One Unmissable Summit.

This session is the defining conversation on how UAS is transforming emergency response. Led by Aerium, SAP&DC, Cambria County Emergency Services, and powered by the USDOT SMART Grant, Drone814 is deploying drones to deliver AEDs, EPIPENS, Narcan, and other critical supplies directly to 911 scenes — often before EMS arrives.

Join the minds behind the mission as they reveal:

✔️ How UAS is being integrated into real emergency response protocols

✔️ What it takes to navigate airspace regulations, flight timing, and dispatch systems

✔️ The measurable public and financial impacts of medical drone delivery

✔️ The hard lessons from the field — and what’s next for replication

This is more than a panel. It’s a first-hand briefing on a live, multi-agency initiative that’s saving lives and setting the national standard.

Explore the future of healthcare logistics with the Autonomous Aviation Research Consortium for Healthcare Innovation and Education Empowerment.

The future of healthcare delivery is taking flight—literally. AARCHIEE is leading the way in leveraging unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for medical supply delivery to diverse communities. AARCHIEE is leveraging the initial infrastructure and pilot work being conducted through the Drone814 SMART Grant. This session will explore how a diverse coalition of universities, industry leaders, government agencies, and healthcare providers are collaborating to transform emergency response and healthcare logistics.

Drone814 is now — but what’s next?

This session will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and educators to explore:

• The evolving regulatory framework and the policies needed to support the safe deployment of autonomous aircraft. Breakthrough advancements in aviation technology, including artificial intelligence, automation, and eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft.
• The future workforce, including new education and training programs designed to prepare aviation professionals for careers in autonomy and advanced air mobility.
• Infrastructure and economic impacts, from vertiport development to state-led initiatives that support innovation and industry growth.

As autonomous aviation moves closer to reality, collaboration between government, industry, and academia will be essential. Join us for this forward-looking discussion on how we can build a strong foundation for the future of autonomous flight.
