FAA gives nod to Va. Tech’s proposal to test unmanned aircraft systems
U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) congratulated Virginia Tech following the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) selection of Virginia Tech’s proposal to spearhead a regional research effort on the safest and most effective ways to incorporate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the existing airspace.
Sens. Warner and Kaine were quoted in a news release as saying,“We hope this FAA research and testing also helps sort-out the legitimate public concerns about privacy and air safety as we move toward a safe and responsible integration of unmanned aircraft.”
Virginia Tech’s proposal, one of six from across the country selected by the FAA, includes a cooperative agreement to work with research institutions and facilities across Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey.
