b'4 UNMANNEDAERIAL SYSTEMSINL excels in sensor and platform testing, validation, and demonstration. With 8,100 mi2 of federally authorized airspace, a secure boundary, and the ability to work with the Wireless, Explosives, and Breaching and Radiological Response test ranges, INL is a prime location for UAS testing. INL works closely with some of the nations top drone manufacturers and military branches to support the integration and field testing of advanced UAS and counter-UAS platforms.As UAS capabilities increase, so do their applications in commercial and military operations. Reliable UAS platforms require advanced sensors, thorough testing of equipment, and well-trained personnel.The INL site provides a secure and isolated environment for federal UAS testing and ensures the proper use of unmanned aerial vehicles for DOE and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). This environment includes:A 1,000-ft runway and a 30 ft50-ft enclosed shelter Aircraft range in size from less than 1 to nearly 150 lbMore than 40 types of UAS-using mobilePowered by small reciprocating control stations that incorporate command andengines and electric motorscontrol, sensor communication, monitoring,The ability for most commercial autopilots to use full and data-acquisition capabilities autonomous operations from takeoff to landing.9 Capabilities Catalog'
