Business on the Border Features Unmanned Aerial Systems
PSL’s Technical Analysis and Applications Center (TAAC) will be the focus of the May Business on the Border luncheon. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 3, 2011 from 11:30 AM until 1:00 PM at the Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces, 705 S. Telshor. The meeting will begin with a hot entree buffet followed by a brief update by MVEDA staff.
The Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Technical Analysis and Applications Center (TAAC) was established in 1999 with the mission to promote safe integration of UAS in the National Airspace System (NAS). In order for a UAS to be flown in the USA outside of military airspace, a certificate of authorization (COA) or an experimental airworthiness certificate must be issued by the FAA; COAs have been obtained by New Mexico State University to operate the Aerostar and Orbiter UAS and the TAAC conducts flight operations within restricted airspace. The TAAC has been involved in the testing of various UAS platforms and has produced a certification roadmap that is serving as a framework for UAS certification.
The TAAC is a one-stop shop for:
- Critical technologies testing
- Planning for routine flight operations
- Certification, regulatory, research and validation
- Planning for worldwide operations
Luncheon cost is $20.00 per person, payable by cash, check or major credit card. Due to space limitations, reservations are required. Please confirm your attendance no later than Thursday, April 28 by sending an email to rsvp@mveda.com or by calling the office at (575) 525-2852. The meeting is open to the public.
