Unmanned Systems Canada (USC) is the national member-focused organization that represents innovative Canadians working in the aerial, marine and ground sectors of the unmanned industry.
USC works to foster relationships between recreational and commercial operators, start-ups and established businesses, suppliers and buyers, industry and government.
The work of our non-profit organization is supported by dedicated members through membership dues, individual donations, as well as participation in USC events and sponsorships.
This year, the USC Membership Committee has updated our Membership types and fee structure to more closely align with other professional industry associations, the evolving profiles of our members, and to enable us to launch new services and benefits this year.
Effective April 15th, 2018, membership fees will be updated to provide two new Individual membership options and new Corporate membership options that more closely align with our members’ needs.
Member benefits include priority marketing opportunities and member-only opportunities, with more coming to the USC in 2018:
- Advance notice of USC events and speaker opportunities

- Access to networking opportunities and Member Roundtables
