About AUVSI Hampton Roads
AUVSI Hampton Roads was founded during the mid-1990’s to serve the needs of emerging defense and industry technologists who were supporting uncrewed systems development. Our region includes the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, and NASA and 18 local municipalities that comprise Hampton Roads. Our growing base includes members from academia, industry, and local governments. We reach from Northeast North Carolina, to the Eastern Shore of Virginia, to Richmond.
If you are not already a member, we encourage you join us as our uncrewed systems-related activities expand in the region. We intend to leverage our core capabilities to encourage uncrewed systems industry local growth coupled with workforce development through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics robotics programs in our academic institutions. Hope to see you soon!
