sites are much more narrowly
defined. And the UAVs can-
not travel beyond a one-mile
radius from the ground site.
There are five sites that
are being looked at as poten-
tial test sites: On the
voters will choose elected of-
ficials—county, state and fed-

Flat, and one at Sidwalter.
The UAVs would not be
flying randomly around the
reservation. “They have very
specific flight patterns,”
Sampson said. “And there are
privacy conditions that they
have to comply with.”
The companies would
come to the tribes for ap-
proval to conduct a test flight.
The tribal UAV program
would put out a notice that
the flight is going to happen,
and would then have a tribal
UAV person present during
the test.
The BIA has already show
interest in the program,
Sampson said, as UAVs are

Western Juniper
Old growth Douglas Fir
Lodge pole pine
Old growth Ponderosa pine

The BPA and other utili-
ties have many miles of lines
that require regular inspec-
tion, and this is another po-
tential use of the UAVs.
Natural Resources could
use the vehicles for wildlife
inventories. The number of
potential uses for UAVs is
large, which is why the field
is growing fast.
Other countries are al-
ready using the systems more
extensively for domestic pur-
poses than the U.S.
The FAA last year ap-
proved the test sites to get the
U.S. on track for safe use of
the UAVs.
