Pan-Pacific UAS Test Site and
OSU-Sponsored Flight Activity
FAA UAS TEST SITE
Screening Information Request
1 “Site” = N “Ranges”
STRONG POLITICAL SUPPORT
Congress directed FAA to integrate UAS into the NAS by 2015
“… we strongly encourage you to include proposals for multi-state and
multi-site test site designations.” FEB 7, 2013
“…we have not placed restrictions, other than safety, on the quantity or locations of applicant team members or
test ranges…”Michael Huerta
FAA AdministratorApril 10, 2013
Governor Kitzhaber includes $2.5M UAS proposal in FY13-15 budget
Shaped components of solicitation – noncontiguous test ranges
FAA Solicitation issued 02/14/13
Strong emphasis on:UAS experiencePiloted aircraft experienceExisting infrastructureExisting procedures
Seven proposal volumes with multiple submission dates
Six proposal volumes submitted to dateLast volume due May 6, 2013Privacy Policy to be established in June –
Comments due by 23 AprilContracting via ‘Other Transaction Agreement’,essentially a MOA between Parties, targeted forend of December.
SIR Application Process
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE OPPORTUNITY
50 primary teams representing 37 statesrequested FAA portal access for submission
of proposals
Pan Pacific UAS Test Range Complex
•Alaska to lead multi-state team• Oregon & Hawaii are key members• Noncontiguous Test Ranges span widest diversity of geography, climate and flight operations (high and low altitude, conventional and high speed, conventional and unconventional takeoff and landing, etc.)
STRATEGIC APPROACH
Total of 14 Test Ranges
Experience dating to 20017 Test RangesExtensive collaboration
with state DOT, aviation, National Guard, industry & federal organizations
Offers singular UAS operations test areas
Partners with Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, which operates the largest U.S. land and ocean air test range
ALASKA
OREGON
4 Test RangesOperational experience
since last quarter 2012Commercial capabilityContributes 17 team
members, bringing substantial UAS industry and premier research organizations to PPUTRC
Test ranges vary from coastal to desert
HAWAII 3 Test Ranges
DoD connectivityContributes 4 team members, including academia, state government, economic developmentTest ranges vary from coastal to tropical
PPUTRC includes 58 Team Members:Academic research centers with active R&D
programs and directly-related experience UAS industry spanning all aspects of UAS, UAV,
command & control, engineering support and critical infrastructure
Key sensor suppliers SMEs Government aviation agencies and National Guard
components, some with UAS platoons Tribes Trade AssociationsPLUS3 participating countries – Norway, Iceland, Canada
