Legislation Would Also Invest In Workforce Development For New Drone Technology Jobs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON DC<\/strong> \u2013 Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV), John Boozman (R-AR), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act<\/em> to help utilize drone technology to inspect critical infrastructure. This bipartisan bill would authorize $100 million in competitive grants to help local governments fund more opportunities to use American-made drones in critical infrastructure inspections, maintenance, or construction projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we implement the historic investments to update our nation\u2019s infrastructure, we must use the latest technology to identify structures that need to be fixed,\u201d dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cThis bipartisan legislation I\u2019m introducing will help local governments invest in drones to better inspect their infrastructure for safety and reliability, while preparing our workforce for jobs of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no reason not to utilize drone technology that\u2019s produced right here in America to more efficiently and effectively assess the safety of our bridges, railways and other infrastructure,\u201d said Senator Boozman.<\/strong> \u201cIn Arkansas, we\u2019ve seen the numerous benefits they offer \u2013 from precision agriculture to law enforcement missions and enhancing manual inspections \u2013 but we\u2019re also at the forefront of guarding against reliance on foreign-based manufacturers to supply unmanned aircraft systems. Our bipartisan bill helps expand this vision nationwide and invests in educational opportunities necessary to create more skilled operators and technicians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese grants are an important investment to ensure state and local inspection officials have the resources they need to keep our infrastructure and communities safe,\u201d said Senator Blumenthal.<\/strong> \u201cDrone technology can be a valuable tool to help us modernize our roads and bridges. The next generation of highly-trained workers are key to a sustainable, world-class transportation network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Drones are being relied on as indispensable tools for critical operations, including infrastructure inspections — and that role will only continue to grow as the technology advances further. The future of aviation leadership is in autonomy, and the United States must invest in supporting the drone industry and growing workforce. This bill accomplishes both goals by providing states with grants to funding to acquire and utilize secure drones for infrastructure inspection and to train the workforce to conduct these critical missions,” said Michael Robbins, Chief Advocacy Officer at the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI).<\/strong> “The U.S. cannot afford to fall behind in the drone industry\u2019s ability to attract capital, investment, and workforce. Congress should pass this commonsense legislation to help level the playing field for the U.S. drone industry and to encourage the infrastructure and workforce benefits the DIIG Act would bring to communities nationwide.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have been used to help inspect infrastructure projects and prevent catastrophes. This legislation would also help research universities like the University of Nevada, Reno and University of Nevada, Las Vegas have access to grants to train the next generation of workers who operate drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a co-author of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Senator Rosen has worked hard to ensure Nevada receives its fair share of funding for infrastructure projects in the state. Earlier this year, Senator Rosen secured $31 million<\/a> for terminal improvements at Harry Reid International Airport as it breaks passenger records. Rosen also announced that more than $63 million<\/a> in federal funds were awarded to Nevada to improve the state\u2019s water infrastructure and ensure Nevadans have safe, reliable access to clean drinking water in their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
