Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon
Ventures, UAV program
planning a ground-
breaking at Kah-Nee-Ta
Paret of the Confeder-
ated Tribes’ unmanned
aeriel systems program in-
volves Kah-Nee-Ta Re-
sort. The plan is for a part
of the resort to be remod-
eled in order to serve as a
training and UAS meeting
area.
There is funding avail-
able for the Kah-Nee-Ta
remodel, and Ventures and
its UAS team are planning
a ground-breaking at the
resort.
This could happen later
this winter or in the early
spring. Aurolyn Stwyer,
Ventures business devel-
opment and marketing di-
rector, is coordinating the
effort.
For its UAS program,
the tribes are working with
SOAR Oregon, an eco-
nomic development group
focusing on the un-manned
systems industry in the
state.
Recent UAS funding to
SOAR is at $3 million.
There are three FAA-
designated UAS test areas
in the state of Oregon:
Warm Springs, Tillamook
and Pendleton.
The funding would be
shared among the three.
The Kah-Nee-Ta devel-
opment would be an im-
portant part of the tribes’
UAS program.
This would help attract
companies to the reserva-
tion. This would generate
revenue, and create local
job opportunities.
Three areas on the res-
ervation are now desig-
nated for UAS testing.
The Warm Springs IHS Mobile Medical
Unit will be at the Senior Center on Tues-
day, January 12.
