»UAS Test Center
ξ Griffiss International Airport in Rome is one of 6 locations selected as unmanned aircraft system test sites
ξ Bases in Syracuse, Plattsburgh and Fort Drum will also be involved in testing in Central New York
ξ Griffiss is a part of the Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance,
ξ which will headquarter two FAA test sites.
ξ In addition to Rome, NUAIR will host a test site at Joint Base Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

ξ NUAIR is an alliance of more than 40 private and public entities and academic institutions
ξ from across New York and Massachusetts that have partnered to promote Griffiss as an ideal location to conduct testing and research.

ξ Officials say NUAIR could generate nearly $700 million in new York and Massachusetts, and more than 4,000 jobs.

ξ "Today's announcement, recognizing the NUAIR team as an official FAA test site,
ξ is a slam dunk for Central and Northern New York," said Sen. Chuck Schumer.
ξ "This unmanned air systems research and testing will usher in jobs while benefiting key industries,
ξ like agriculture and logistics. I have no doubt, that with this announcement,
ξ Central and Northern New York will become the Silicon Valley of unmanned systems advancements."
ξ "I am pleased that the FAA chose Oneida County to be a nationally recognized center of research,
ξ development and testing of unmanned aircraft systems," said Rep. Richard Hanna.
ξ "Helping build a new high-tech economy in the Mohawk Valley is essential to the future of our community.
ξ Promoting Griffiss as a hub for new jobs and innovation is a major part of this effort and
ξ this news is exciting for our region's future. Congratulations to NUAIR for its hard work."

ξ �I was proud to work hand in glove with Senator Schumer in making the case for NUAIR,"
ξ said Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi.
ξ "Now that an official unmanned designation from the FAA has landed right here in the Mohawk Valley,
ξ our regional economy is poised for takeoff.�

ξ Drones could be seen in the sky as soon as four months from right now.
ξ Each base will have to undergo an annual evaluation to make sure they are still up to date with their technologies.
ξ All drones involved have GPS systems to let those testing them know exactly where they are.

ξ One of the main reasons the Adirondack Mountains were chosen as a testing location
ξ was due to the limited commercial air traffic which is seen in the area.

REASON IT!

ξ Joint Base Cape Cod in Massachusetts has US Coast Guard
ξ New York is must as the test city!
ξ Boston and Massachusetts have the resources to develop!
ξ Griffiss International Airport in New York state is safer airport for test
