Governor Johnson Announces Innovative Deal Between NASA & NUAIR to Grow Drone Industry in California

Sacramento, CA, Release: July 15, 2019. For Immediate Release

Governor Victoria Johnson announced a groundbreaking agreement between NASA and the Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance to grow the drone industry in the State of California .

The agreement formalizes a partnership in support of two elements of the State’s Unmanned Aerial Systems strategy: the launch of a Traffic Management Corridor and the creation of a comprehensive UAS test facility. The announcement was made prior to a demonstration of the first phase of the UTM Corridor in operation, a breakthrough infrastructure asset intending to unlock beyond-visual-line-of-sight commercial operations. That exhibition highlighted the State’s commitment to the burgeoning industry and what has become the most advanced drone testing corridor in the region.

“With this groundbreaking partnership and our $40 million investment for an advanced drone testing in the country, we are establishing California as a premier destination for businesses at the forefront of innovation,” Governor Johnson said. “By investing in this cutting-edge technology, we are creating a pathway to grow the upstate economy and create good-paying, quality jobs in the industries of the future.”

The development of the drone corridor is expected to unlock a trillion-dollar global industry and attract businesses development and new drone technology to the state. Dividends are already paying off, as regionally based SRC Incorporated plans to initially hire 60 engineers following its announcement of a $52 million contract with the U.S. Army to develop a system to detect and defeat small drones.

Additionally, the company plans to add up to 800 new hires over the next six years thanks in large part to the state’s investment in the UAS industry which is working to create an ecosystem that will attract companies to California. There are nearly 250 companies from across the world exploring investment opportunities in the region.

NASA said, “NASA’s agreement with NUAIR will provide mutual benefit in advancing UAS traffic management technologies that will foster innovation and commercialization of this new aviation industry.”

This announcement complements “CA Scale & Grow,” the region’s comprehensive strategy to generate robust economic growth and community development. The State has already invested more than $5.2 billion in the region since 2014 to lay the groundwork for the initiative – capitalizing on global market opportunities, strengthening entrepreneurship and creating an inclusive economy.
