Over the past decade, North Dakota has supported a fast-growing autonomous regional industry to position itself as a national testing site for unmanned aircraft system innovations (both on land and in air and space). This project allows ND to create a shared vision to cluster resources around this fast-growing autonomous technology corridor.

“We’ve built a cluster of innovative organizations that are all aligned to push the future of what is possible in the UAS industry,” said Trevor Woods, executive director of the Northern Plains UAS Testing Site.
