Cramer Announces U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to Attend UAS Summit Oct. 14

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee and chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure, announced U.S. Secretary of Transportation and National Aeronautics and Space Administration Interim Administrator Sean Duffy will speak at this year's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Summit and Expo in Grand Forks on Oct. 14. Duffy is a former U.S. Representative from Wisconsin, where he served from 2011 to 2019. He is also a former District Attorney and television host.

"North Dakota is the epicenter of the unmanned technology industry, which now stretches from the skies above North Dakota's farms to the edge of space above our adversaries," said Cramer. "Given the globe-spanning reach of today's unmanned aerial systems, we couldn't ask for a better guest than Secretary and Administrator Duffy to attend the UAS Summit. I look forward to sharing with him our vision for the future of unmanned systems."

The UAS Summit is in its 19th year and brings together policymakers and industry leadership from around the world to discuss the regulatory, economic and technological events in the unmanned aerial system industry.
