With so many technological advancements in the field of pilotless aircraft, UAVs (\u201cUnmanned Aerial Vehicles\u201d that are better known as drones) are poised to play a much larger part in the business model of a variety of different industries, as well as become common in our everyday lives. Over the next 10 years, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or drones are expected to create more than 100,000 jobs with an economic impact of $82 billion. Florida stands to benefit more than almost any other state as new regulations will bring 3,000 new jobs and $632 million in economic impact to the state by 2017, according to the\u00a0Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. That\u2019s a lot of opportunities.<\/p>\n
