The Northern Plains UAS Test Site in North Dakota has teamed up with companies and agencies like Airspace Link, North Dakota DOT, and Thales to implement and test one of the most unique drone ecosystems in the U.S. North Dakota is making significant investments in critical infrastructure to enable safe, scalable BVLOS UAS operations. The intent is to stand up a viable BVLOS operational network that will show just how America can implement a standardized, accessible, and repeatable system for state-wide drone deployment, which will ultimately enable new industry applications and create new jobs required to invigorate and modernize our approach to infrastructure and adoption of new technologies. The test site is working in lockstep with the FAA to obtain the necessary authorizations for this system and is running the Vantis initiative in parallel with the FAA BEYOND program.
