Chapter Goals

The Channel Islands Chapter (CIC) of the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) represents the linkage between education and technology within the Southern California tri-counties area (Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo).  The chapter is chartered by AUVSI for the purpose of these goals: 

  1. Provide a place and forum for learning, developing systems, and testing tactics and technologies in an effort to encourage the advancement of unmanned systems; 
  2. Establish, promote and maintain an air, land, and aquatic unmanned system test location in order to provide space and capabilities for research, development, test, evaluation, and certification of technologies involved in unmanned systems; 
  3. Develop lasting partnerships and synergistic relationships in order to understand, promote and publicize the benefits and capabilities offered by unmanned systems and technologies; 
  4. Develop a network of public and private businesses able to employ and further develop unmanned technology, as well as provide a wider use of this technology;
