UAS Update
Fiber optic
approaching
Kah-Nee-Ta
The tribes’ unmanned
aerial systems program is a
fast developing enterprise.
Other
tribes—the
Puyallup, Tulalip, Couer
d’Alene and Grand Ronde,
for instance—have been in
contact with Aurolyn Stwyer,
business and marketing man-
ager at Warm Springs Ven-
tures.
Other tribes have a grow-
ing interest in the industry,
and in the Warm Springs’ pro-
gram in particular, Ms. Stwyer
said. The Puyallup have al-
ready drafted a tribal policy
to guide their use of un-
manned systems.
As an FAA-approved UAS
test range, the Warm Springs
Reservation is also drawing
interest from leaders in the
industry. Key partnerships

will bring the fiber optic cable to Kah-Nee-Ta.
could lead to the develop-
ment of a drone manufactur-
ing plant at the industrial
park, where Construction is
preparing for a new building.
A key component of the
tribes’ UAS program will be
the Innovation Center, under
construction at Kah-Nee-Ta
Resort. The UAS Innovation
Center will include a 36-seat
conference and training
room, instruction and simu-
lation rooms, and offices.
This project is funded
through state business grant
from the Infrastructure Fund-
ing Authority.
The Innovation Center will
require high-speed Internet;
so part of the project is the
installation of fiber optic
cable from the Telecom
building at the industrial park
to Kah-Nee-Ta.
Warm Springs Construc-
tion is a few weeks away from
finishing the cable project.
Kah-Nee-Ta will see the
benefit from the Innovation
Center itself, plus from the
fiber optic line that will bring
high-speed Internet to the
entire resort.
