Emerging Aviation Technology with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

Our guest is, James Grimsley, Executive Director/Advanced Technology Initiatives with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Transportation Commissioner.

James Grimsley is one of my Drone Czar nominees

Drone Czar -

Is a person who has a professional/expert knowledge of not only the problems associated with UAS integration but also understands the history, the engineering, systems, and regulation that it would take to put the Rube Goldberg machine together. This person has to have an intimate understanding of the laws and processes for UAS NAS integration and would be responsible for reporting to the highest levels of Government. International harmonization and working with international groups would be a plus. They would also need to have the trust of the end-user community. Full integration in any organized and timely fashion means hiring someone capable of integrating science, international business relations, and law with the pure interests of the business community.
