Drone technologyexpands beyond the line of sightStory and photos
By James R. JohnsonBeyond Visual Line of Sight
technology, or BVLOS, is seen as a
multi-billion-dollar industry, and
Traill County, specifically Hillsboro,
is a launch point.The University of North Dakota
is leading a research project for the
North Dakota Department of Com-
merce. UND is partnering with the
Northern Plains Test Site and corpo-
rate partner, Harris, a Florida-based
information technology services pro-
vider that specializes in surveillance.
The project is to develop a BVLOS
network. Its first test flight was Dec.
21 outside Hillsboro, launching a
drone from Total Ag parking lot.“There are a few things we’re
modifying here or there, but the
infrastructure is in place, so we are
transitioning to the testing phase,”
Prof. Mark Askelson, interim exec-
utive director at UND’s Research
Institute for Autonomous Systems,
told the Tribune.Drones are being used by Elbit
Systems to collect agricultural data
and Xcel Energy is testing drones to
monitor power lines in the event of a
destructive summer or winter storm.
This project differs from those two ex-
amples in that it uses a hybrid drone,
the Dragon X6, which is classified
as a small unmanned aerial system
(UAS). It’s equipped with a surveillance
camera, weighs less than 55 pounds
and can easily carry a 15-pound pay-
load, Askelson says. It runs on a bat-
tery that is recharged with a gasoline
engine, and the battery power can
last for two hours or more of flight
time.The test flight went no higher than 100 ft. It was tracked and its data mapped on a computer by a UAS support team inside a trailer on the north end of Hillsboro Regional Airport.
“Our role is to execute the flights using the technology that was put together through the
collaborative partnership,” says Chris
Theisen, director of research and
development at the Northern Plains
Test Site.North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum
wants to replicate BVLOS sites across the state.“We’ve had that in our scope going through this project- that it could be
scalable,” Theisen said, meaning it
can be used or produced in a range of
capabilities. “That’s the only way it
could achieve statewide or nationwide
goals.”Askelson says the Dragon X6 is
used a lot in moviemaking, but its
applications extend to inspecting
pipelines and power lines, plus precision agriculture. Askelson drew a comparison to
Elbit Systems’ collection of data
from a 4x40-mile corridor.“Unmanned aircraft are re-
quired by the FAA to stay in the
line of sight. A bigger operation
may want to cover eight different
fields in a certain period of time. With
a UAS system, it would have to pick
up and move every time, but with a
BVLOS system, you’d be set.”Theisen said once the BVLOS sys-
tem becomes fully operational in the
spring, the next step will be securing
users.“We’re working with a couple of in-
dustry partners right now who might
be users of the system,” he said. “We
have to button things up with them
first before we can mention who they
are. Hopefully by spring, summer
or fall, we’re flying not only for the
research project but also migrating
into the commercial market to fly on
the network.”Askelson said another future ap-
2018 goes out with anarctic blastTwo blizzard warnings in five daysStory and photos
By James R. JohnsonWhile presents were being opened Christmas Day, the National Weather Service had its eye on a developing winter storm.
Winter storm warnings became blizzard warnings on Boxing Day with forecasts of four-to-eight inches of snow for Traill County and into double-digits for southeastern North Dakota and western Minnesota.
Snow began falling Wednes-day afternoon and stopped briefly Thursday morning before the north wind began gusting over 40, sometimes 50 miles per hour through the evening. The North Dakota Highway Patrol issued a travel alert for all state highways because of whiteout conditions.
Some businesses stayed ahead of the storm. Before the fierce winds kicked up Thursday, Brudvik Law Office and Gate City Bank alerted radio and TV stations that all
locations would be closed for the day. The Traill County Courthouse and Mayville State University would soon follow suit.
By Friday morning, blowing snow was still creating snow fog, but the North Dakota Department of Transportation reported scattered snow along state highways 200 and 18, with some scattered drifts on Interstate 29 north of Buxton. The travel alert was lifted.
County signs on to restore oil extraction, corporate income tax rates
By James R. JohnsonTraill County is on record with several southeast North Dakota counties requesting that the North Dakota Leg-islature restore the state’s oil extraction and corporate income tax rates to previous levels established in two gener-al elections.Commissioners unanimous-
ly moved Jan. 2 to adopt the Revenue Restoration Resolu-tion, as stated by the South-east County Commissioners Association.The resolution states that
the State of North Dakota sustained a budget shortfall of more than $1 billion during
the 2015-17 biennium.It further states “despite the rejection of a decrease in the state income tax by the voters in the General Election of 2008, the State Legislature has disregarded the will of the people during the past five legislative sessions and incrementally reduced the state’s income tax rate by ap-proximately 50%, contributing substantially to the inability to properly fund obligations of state and local governments.”
The resolution says the North Dakota Oil Extraction Tax was reduced from 6.5% to 5% by the 2015 Legislature, “reducing revenues to the state’s treasury by approxi-
mately $20 million per month.”The resolution says the
original extraction rate of 6.5% was set by a voter-approved initiated measure that es-tablished the tax during the General Election of 1980.
The final resolution asks the Legislature to “respect the will of the people” and restore the oil extraction tax to 6.5% and the state’s personal and corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels “as part of the state’s effort to restore lost revenue and meets its fiscal responsibilities.”
New year, new chairmanThe half-hour commission
meeting saw the chairman’s gavel transferred by motion from Larry Young to Les Amb.
Commissioner Tom Eblen accepted the gavel of the vice-chairman. Both chairman and vice-chairman serve as directors on the Traill County Economic Development Com-mission.
Commissioner Ken Nesvig will continue to report from the County Courthouse Commit-tee, Eblen from the Sheriff/Jail Committee and Commissioner Kurt Elliott from the Veter-ans Service Office Committee. Young will replace Amb on the County Road Committee.
A slim agenda included two motions concerning the county tax director’s office. One re-

TCEDC welcomes new member, prepares for job fair
By Bryce Haugen
The Traill County Economic De-
velopment Commission welcomed a
new member at its monthly meeting
Dec. 20 in Hillsboro.David Johnson, a State Farm
Insurance in Mayville, joined the
11-member commission, replacing
Alana Gerszewski, who declined
another three-year term.“Thanks for being a part of the
board,” commission chairman Ben
Hershey said.Johnson said he’s excited to serve.
“I’m looking forward to doing what
I can for the communities,” he said.
Although he wasn’t at the meet-
ing, Traill County Commissioner Tom
Eblen of Hillsboro has been selected
as one of two county commission rep-
resentatives to TCEDC for next year.
He replaces Commissioner Larry
Young and will serve with Commis-
sioner Les Amb of Portland.TCEDC members Hershey, of
Buxton, and Scott Hovde, of Portland,
were re-appointed to additional three-
year terms. Job fairOver the past month, TCEDC
executive director Jim Murphy and
project coordinator Alyssa Short have
focused on planning for the Traill
County Career Expo and Job Fair.The event will be Wednesday,
Jan. 23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the
Mayville Armory, 332 Center Avenue
South. For more information or to
register a booth, contact the TCEDC
at (701) 636-4746 or e-mail director@
traillcounty.edc.com.“We’re going to have a very suc-
cessful job fair,” Murphy said.Short said North Dakota Job
Service will be on hand to provide
resume assistance for job seekers.Tax collectionsThe TCEDC ends the year with
$202,612 in tax money received.
That’s $4,642 short of the approved
budget of $207,255.“We’re short again this year, but
much closer,” Hershey said. “... It’s
definitely better than the last few
years.”
In 2017, the organization ended
the year $12,088 short. In 2016, there
was a $27,076 deficit and in 2015, it
was $19,620.Executive director’s reportMurphy updated the commission
with what he’s been up to the past
month. Since the previous meeting,
he:Consulted with a Buxton business
on employee acquisition and retention
plans and opportunities.Worked with several Hillsboro and
Mayville businesses regarding em-
ployee acquisitions and opportunities.
Held a phone conference with the
Transition Office at the Grand Forks
Air Force Base. “We’re going to see if
we can generate some interest in at-
tracting some of the Grand Forks Air
Force Base retirees and getting them
jobs here,” Murphy said. Met with Small Business Asso-
ciation representatives regarding
programs and resources available for
Traill County businesses.Met with Hatton business people
