U A V s: p o te n tia l fo r e c o n o m ic d e v e lo p m e n t
(Continued from page 1)
There are many potential
uses for the UAVs, or drones.
Search and rescue, commer
cial delivery, agriculture ap
plications, and fire suppres
sion are am ong the m any
potential uses.
UAV technology will likely
becom e an integral part o f
life over the next decade,
Anspach said. This would be
similar to the grow th that
happened in the global posi
tioning system (GPS) tech
nology.
G PS technology began
with the military, but now is
a com m on part o f life. GPS
systems are found in m otor
vehicles' and smart phones,
for instance.
T he U.S. was a leader in
drone technology, but other
countries are now overtaking
the U.S.
Part o f this situation has
to do with the strict control
over air space in the U.S.
The UAVs could pose a haz
ard to regular aircraft, so
FAA restricts their presence
in the general air space.
Research, testing and de
v e lo p m e n t are n e e d e d to
make the UAVs safe for use
in the general air space. For
instance, the UAVs will need
technology that detects regu
lar air craft and avoids them,
Anspach said.
T h e UAV in d u stry also
wants testing in order to de
velop vehicles that can oper
a te safely w ithout crashing.
The vehicles will contain ex
pensive cam eras and other
com puter equipm ent in the
nose area; so keeping them
intact is important.
In Oregon, the approved
te s t sites are th e W arm
S prings
R e se rv a tio n ,
T illam ook and P endleton.
T he W arm Springs Reserva
tion has the benefit o f being
g e o g rap h ica lly
d iv erse,
Anspach said.
A nother benefit o f testing
on the reservation is the rela
tively open air space. “I think
we had the best application,”
he said.
The FAA took 10 m onths
in processing 25 test-site pro
posals, last week announcing
the final six, including the
Alaska, O regon, Hawaii re
gion, which includes the res
ervation site.
W ith the FAA approval,
the tribes can how begin c o -'
ordinating the testing w ork
with the University o f Alaska,
and the o ther O regon test
sites.
‘W e’ll probably start work
ing on range preparation in
February or March,” Anspach
said.
Once the ranges are estab
lished, the testing can begin
fairly soon. The testing facili
ties will be highly mobile, in
volving mainly a truck and
monitoring computer systems.
