Overview
Mission
The auvsi cascade chapter was established in the northwest united states to share the ideals of auvsi with local industries, academia, and government. The association for unmanned vehicles systems international is formed to: (a) provide an organization for individuals who have a common interest in unmanned vehicle systems and who wish to foster and expand the domain of unmanned vehicle systems, (b) advance the technology, (c) exchange ideas and information in the field of unmanned vehicle systems and to recognize the advances and contributions thereto, (d) promote the education of the membership and general public in the field of unmanned vehicle systems, and (e) document the history of unmanned vehicle systems.
What it reported doing in 2024
Auvsi cascade chapter affiliated member numbers continue to increase with each passing year, currently totaling more than 400 individuals. We continue to provide 2 events per year alternating locations in Oregon and Washington except under covid-19 restrictions when we hold these virtually. The cascade chapter has awarded 31,500 to stem and unmanned system programs in the northwest over the course of this fiscal year and has plans to execute additional grants and awards to various recipients ranging from youth robotic clubs to university level institutions before the close of 2020.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 63% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
