FAIRBORN — The Air Force has awarded Wright State University a contract worth up to $5 million over five years for research that could eventually help a single pilot to manage flights of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles simultaneously, university officials said Thursday.
The initial funding increment of $700,000 will leverage $750,000 in state funding through Ohio’s technology development-supporting Third Frontier program for facilities and laboratory equipment, Wright State officials said.
The work will support 30 research jobs and possibly 10 new jobs within 18 months, along with graduate assistants from the region, said Ryan Fendley, director of the Wright State Research Institute.
