AUVSI Uncrewed Insights
AUVSI Uncrewed Insights is your go-to read on the trends and policies shaping the future of autonomous and uncrewed vehicle systems.
The AUVSI Research team has taken years of domain expertise from the USRD and applied it to one of the most underutilized datasets in the industry: FAA drone registrations. We didn’t just aggregate the data—we cleaned it, standardized it, de-duplicated it, and enriched it with equipment-level intelligence to make it accurate, usable, and actionable.
Built on 100% of U.S. commercial and recreational registrations and enhanced with specifications from AUVSI’s USRD, this platform gives you a clear, reliable view of who is flying drones in America, what industries they serve, what equipment they operate, and where they’re located.
Identify commercial operators by industry and geography. Track manufacturer market share and model adoption. Size your addressable market with precision. Generate qualified leads in minutes.
This is real, registration-level data—refined and ready to use. Not estimates. Not assumptions. Just insight you can act on.
