DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – As the Dayton region continues to make strides in becoming the nation’s leader in Unmanned Aerial Systems, local officials are reaching out statewide to help accomplish that goal.<\/p>\n

Watch the video of their visit to Wright State University here.<\/a><\/p>\n

For the first time, Jim Free, Director of NASA Glenn Research Center got a first hand look at what the Dayton region’s aerospace companies and institutions have to offer.<\/p>\n

As part of a day long visit, Free met with local leaders looking for better ways to share UAS research and technology.<\/p>\n

“We do work with AFRL now and to further that trying to get knowledge of our capabilities at NASA Glenn and understanding the capabilities here that when you weave them together it’s a great message for the state of Ohio,” Free said.<\/p>\n

State Representative Rick Perales, co-chair of Ohio’s Aerospace Caucus, hopes that shared message will strengthen Ohio’s position in landing one of the FAA’s six, highly-coveted UAS test sites to be announced in December.<\/p>\n

“With all these pieces coming together we’re clearly in the running for one of these test sites.” said Perales.<\/p>\n

Jason Parker, director of Wright States Research Institute says having NASA on a resume would also go along way to landing the promising STEM student of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

“I think we all have a lot of shared research interests both in the unmanned vehicle sector as well as in the human side of aerospace research,” he said.<\/p>\n

Free said keeping people being educated and working in Ohio, and keeping high-tech jobs that really matter is the future of the country.<\/p>\n
