OH/IN UAS CenterOH/IN UAS Center
• The OH/IN UAS Center is a joint venture between the states of Ohio and Indiana established in 2013 by Governors John Kasich and Mike Pence
• Overall mission of the UAS Center is to provide: Catalyst for UAS Commercialization Direct support to State & Federal Partners for UAS Research, Development, Test &
Evaluation (RDT&E) and Operations Direct support to Universities and Colleges for UAS Research and Development (R&D)
• Developing capabilities to support UAS RDT&E at a variety of test ranges
• These activities will enhance economic development and place Ohio in a leadership role as FAA prepares to integrate UAS in to the National Airspace System
