This new asset will provide the Wallops Range and the WFF Aircraft Office (WFFAO) with the operational environment required for the assurance of safe and successful UAS flight operations for scientific, military, and commercial research. Extend the capabilities of the WFFAO to provide efficient, responsive, and reliable UAS operations and enable scientists to communication with their onboard experiments.
This task is to develop a small Unmanned Aerial System Control Center (sUASCC) to enable the Wallops Flight Facility Aircraft Office (WFFAO) to fly UASs and to enable scientist to communicate with their experiments. The sUASCC will extend the capabilities of the WFFAO to provide efficient, responsive, and reliable UAS operations.
