MISSISSIPPI PLAYS LEADING ROLE IN UAS

摘要

Mississippi is leading the way in the rapidly developing unmanned aerial systems sector. The state's established infrastructure, strategic location, aggressive growth strategy, and the support of state and federal decision makers position it well for a promising future in this dynamic, emerging industry. Mississippi is an ideal location for a Federal Aviation Administration-designated UAS test site. For more than a decade, the state's existing test site has been successfully integrating both manned and unmanned flights. The UAS industry is firmly entrenched in the state, with leaders like Aurora Flight Sciences, Northrop Grumman and Stark Aerospace who design, manufacture, and test some of the most recognized unmanned systems today.
