I will now recognize myself for the purposes of an opening statement for five minutes. I regret to be opening my first hearing as chairman of the Subcommittee on Aviation in the wake of two tragic aviation accidents that claimed 74 souls last week here in our nation's capital and in Philadelphia. This PAC week, past week has been devastating for the aviation community and the traveling public. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and their families and with all who have been affected by the accidents that occurred. I'd like to personally thank all of the first responders and the investigators that continue to bring facts to light in both accidents. Thank you for your continued service and dedication to delivering answers to the victims, families and loved ones. There will be a time and place to review the NTSB's findings and to discuss how best to ensure that the appropriate safeguards are in place to protect against such tragedies from happening again. In the meantime, the Aviation Subcommittee will continue monitoring developments as the investigation unfolds, and we will work to keep members appraised of new information. With that said, I would like to thank our witnesses for appearing today. You all bring unique insights and perspectives to the table, and I look forward to a very robust discussion on the current landscape of counter UAS technologies in this country. Unmanned aircraft systems, UAS, also known as drones, are extremely popular among the American people, so much so that there are more than one million drones registered with the FAA.
