在越战后期，远端遥控无人机技术开始受到重视，促使1972年美国成立了全国遥控飞行器协会(National Association of Remotely Piloted Vehicles；NARPV)，以推广这个快速增长的领域。
随着无人驾驶工具领域越来越广，除了飞行器外，在陆地、海上以及外太空环境的需求也逐渐浮现，因此在1978年NARPV将专注领域及服务进一步扩大，范围涵盖所有无人驾驶系统，该机构也顺应更名为无人机系统协会(AUVS)。
到了80、90年代，无人机系统产业出现爆发性增长，而AUVS的服务需求也更加的国际化。1996年，该组织因应国际性服务需求再次更名为AUVSI。
宗旨
通过教育、宣传和领导，推进无人系统和机器人社区的发展。
愿景
改善人类日常生活，促使机器人技术在全球范围内的使用。
战略目标
包容性社区——国际无人系统协会将是一个具有包容性的、真实可触的并涵盖机器人/无人系统社区的全球性机构。
聚焦全球——国际无人系统协会将是全球机器人/无人系统发展和延伸的重要合作伙伴。
教育和拓展服务——国际无人系统协会将促进机器人和无人系统知识的拓展并营造教育良机。
知识来源——国际无人系统协会将是机器人和无人机系统知识来源的首选。
宣传和影响——作为机器人和无人系统最有力的支持者，国际无人载具系统协会将得到政府，工业领域和学术界认可。
会员服务——国际无人系统协会将为现有和潜在的会员提供增值服务。
发展历史
在越南战争后期，远端遥控飞行器技术（简称RPV）开始出现良好的发展势头。1972年，全国遥控飞行器协会（简称NARPV）创立，进而推广和促进了这个行业的快速发展。
20世纪70年代末，远端遥控飞行器被称为无人驾驶飞行器（简称UAVS），但“无人”这个新定义的词涵盖的内容却不仅仅是飞行器。陆海空领域的快速发展使得协会拓宽其业务范围。1978年，全国遥控飞行器协会扩大重点和服务范围，建立了一个涵盖全部无人系统行业纪律的社区。这个社区就是无人系统协会（简称AUVS）。
20世纪80年代和90年代期间，无人系统协会的发展反映出当时无人系统工业的快速增长，因此对协会的服务需求开始拓展到全球市场。1996年，无人系统协会得到了全球的关注并发展成为国际无人系统协会。
国际无人系统协会一直是全球无人系统和机器人社区的中心。通过沟通，教育，宣传和领导的方式，协会继续推进和支持无人系统和机器人工业的发展。

Global Focus – AUVSI will be the essential partner in the growth and reach of the global robotics/unmanned systems community.
Education and Outreach - AUVSI will facilitate the expansion of robotics/unmanned systems knowledge and will promote educational opportunities.
Knowledge Source – AUVSI will be the preferred robotics/unmanned systems knowledge source.
Advocacy and Influence – There will be recognition of AUVSI by governments, industry and academia as a powerful advocate for robotics/unmanned systems.
Member Services – AUVSI will provide value-added services to its current and potential membership.
By the end of the Vietnam War, the potential for Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) technology began gaining momentum and in 1972, the National Association of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (NARPV) was created to promote and advance this rapidly growing industry.
By the late 1970's, RPV's became known as Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), but the newly recognized term "unmanned" encompassed more than just air vehicles. Growing developments in the ground, maritime and space arenas caused the organization to broaden its reach and in 1978, the NARPV expanded its focus and services to create a community that included all unmanned systems disciplines. The community became known as the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems (AUVS).
Through the 80s and 90s, AUVS mirrored the fast pace of growth of the unmanned systems industry, and the demand for the organization's services began to reach globally. In 1996, AUVS adopted an international focus and became the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI).
AUVSI continues as the hub of the global unmanned systems and robotics community. Through communication, education, advocacy, awareness and leadership, the organization continues to promote and support the unmanned systems and robotics industry.
