Florida Raises Profile of Unmanned Systems; Seeks Modeling & Simulation Industry’s Participation

Posted on May 1, 2012 in General News,

Calling on NCS Member Companies to Step Forward & Support
this State-wide Data Collection Effort!

As part of a strategy to elevate the UAS industry in the state, Space Florida intends to compete for one of the six FAA UAS Test Range designations mandated in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act 2012.  Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT), working with Space Florida and the Advanced Aerospace Platforms Applications Center (AAPAC), is conducting a Statewide Inventory of Aerospace Assets and Unmanned Aerospace Systems.  Modeling and Simulation plays a significant role in all aspects of the unmanned systems industry and is a key element of the Inventory.  If your company is working in the field of modeling and simulation, you are encouraged to be a part of this database. The requested information is non-proprietary.  To take the short survey, visit www.aapacfl.org, register, click on the “Survey” and complete.  Contact Larry Harvey at lharvey@aapacfl.org with any questions.

Thanks in advance for your support!
