Airlines and Aviation

Overview

We are an FAA-designated UAS test site. We work with leading companies and federal agencies on fundamental and applied research that takes on the most pressing challenges in UAS integration. Our work leverages operational capability, aviation expertise, strong ties to the regulator, and a proven process for demonstrating safety. It has consistently enabled landmark operations that have advanced the industry and continues to set new precedents. We lead Virginia’s BEYOND team and other major federal initiatives, bridging industry goals, regulatory priorities, and community engagement to develop practical, powerful, evidence-based solutions that lay the groundwork for the safe, successful integration of a technology with tremendous potential.
