2016 Key Issues Sam Magill, Co-chair Public Police Key Issue Development WG 05 January 2016
4
A&D Funding and Procurement Related Issues: Funding Instability Reauthorize FAA Funding for the FAA Office of Commercial Space Transportation Reauthorize NASA Recommendations: Appropriate 2017 Defense funding within the caps established by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 no later than 30 September 2016. Employ sound budgetary principles for the long-term development and manufacturing of complex aerospace systems and architecture necessary to accomplish strategic national goals. Provide long-term reauthorization with adequate funding for the FAA in order to meet program requirements. This is also instrumental in providing certainty and stability for the aviation marketplace and workforce. Reauthorization should include adequate funding to successfully implement NextGen, commercial space transportation operations, safely integrate UAS into the NAS, and complete priority FAA modernization initiatives. Provide adequate funding and ample resources for the FAA Office of Commercial Space Transportation in order to keep pace with the continued progress of the commercial space industry. Provide long-term reauthorization with adequate funding for NASA in order to meet program requirements and maintain our nation’s leadership in space exploration, research, and technology. 4

A&D Competitiveness and Security Related Issues: FAA Modernization and Reform Act Integration of UAS into NAS Space Traffic Management Export-Import Bank Board Appointments Recommendations: Provide long-term reauthorization with adequate funding for the FAA in order to meet program requirements. This is also instrumental in providing certainty and stability for the aviation marketplace and workforce. Reauthorization should include adequate funding to successfully implement NextGen, commercial space transportation operations, safely integrate UAS into the NAS, and complete priority FAA modernization initiatives. Prioritize FAA Modernization and Reform initiatives to expedite streamlining of the FAA certification process and incorporate continuous improvement processes. Take appropriate action in the current fiscal environment to identify the lead authority for Space Traffic Management and Congress authorize adequate resources for its implementation. Quickly confirm the President’s three appointments to the Ex-Im Bank Board so U.S. aerospace companies can remain competitive in the global market. 5
6
A&D Workforce Enhancement Related Issues: Workforce Preparation Maintaining and Retaining a Skilled Workforce Integrating New Knowledge into the Workforce Foreign Professionals in STEM Fields Recommendations: Continue to pass legislation that enhances the pipeline of STEM-educated workers into the U.S. economy. Enhance NSF Graduate Research Fellowship funding. Appropriate funding for NASA through reauthorization to provide financial stability for research grants and/or fellowships. Provide tax incentives for industry to participate in STEM programs and training and development programs for the incoming, existing, and transitioning workforce, e.g., internships, apprenticeships, and tailored courses. Pass STEM visa legislation similar to that considered in the 112th Congress to encourage the retention of foreign professional STEM workers in U.S. industry. Direct more exchange between government, industry, and academia in the A&D sector via inter-government personnel agreements, and provide incentives for stakeholders to participate in these activities. Develop programs that enable integration of emerging A&D fields into the knowledge base and competency of the existing workforce, including the skills necessary to complete end demonstrations of new technologies. 6

Co-sponsorship Review Committee (CRC) Purpose of the Committee To review, assess, and decide on requests for co-sponsorship. This includes both when AIAA co- sponsors another organization’s event and when another organization co-sponsors an AIAA event. AIAA will consider nominations for co-sponsorship for events hosted by like-minded organizations where such events enhance our strategic objectives and are framed in terms of a long-term partnership. Not all co-sponsorship arrangements will be vetted by the Co-sponsorship Review Committee. The AIAA President and Executive Director reserve the right to consider and approve some arrangements at their discretion. Committee membership The CRC shall have 4 members, comprised of representatives from appropriate Standing Committees. These Standing Committees include the International Activities Committee, Public Policy Committee (John Rose is the rep), Region and Section Activities Committee, and Technical Activities Committee. Conferences reviewed: DLR Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference Space Simulation Conference International Conference on Environmental Systems 8
