Which as my colleagues have said, right now its difficult for industry to have access to air space for the purposes of research and development. We believe the test sites offer them the perfect opportunity to meet those Research Needs here in the u. S. And thats why were working with the test sites to expand the ability for them to attract that kind of research. Again, if faa Research Needs can be met at the test sites, we will certainly look to Fund Projects at those test sites as well. So when you say youre working with the test sites to expand that opportunity can you tell me a little bit more about that . Again, were trying to keep them well informed about what they are able to do under the agreements that they have with the faa we now have individuals actually from the test center who will be traveling to each of the test sites to work with them more closely on what it is that we might be looking for to be able to get Research Data through the test sites. And then the designees we

The proposal is under executive review at this point sir, so i reall
As required, we set out to have one test site operational within six months of election. We surpassed that goal within four months and three more sites operational within six months of their selections. Now all six uas sites are fully operational and have established their research agendas. The data and information from the test sites will help answer key questions about how Unmanned Aircraft Systems Interface in the air space as well as with air Traffic Control. The Faa Technical Center in Atlantic City is playing a key role in Data Collection and analysis and will continue to make significant contributions to uas integration to identify the data that will be most useful to the faa. We are moving forward through rule making. As md byantehe act, the rule making to permit civil operation of small uas in the air space. We all agree that project is taking too long. But im pleased to say we believe we have a balanced proposal thats currently under executive review. In the meantime and cons
