In the second segment, we will hear some new music from Victor Villegas aka the Drone Singer.

Our guest is Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, Brent Skorup, explores these issues in his new paper Auctioning Airspace. Instead a centralized traffic management system and mandated sharing of air taxi routes and vertiports, regulators should auction aerial corridors they have parceled out like how the government auctions multiyear leases to federal assets like radio spectrum and offshore energy sites.

Our guest will be Ryan Schonfeld and Jeff Parisse from RAS Consulting and Investigations. We will be discussing the high-end security business and how clients are reacting to the threat, if any, posed by sUAS. We will delve into some of what the current technology looks like, as well as some of the expectations and realities.
