Tour of General Atomics UAV Flight Test Facility
Los Angeles Chapter meeting on January 22
General Atomics UAV Flight Test Facility (also known as the Gray Butte UAV Site) may be the largest private unmanned aerial vehicle airport in the USA. It is General Atomics’ main test center, where the company’s Predator and Reaper UAVs are regularly flown. The company has operated for years out of the nearby El Mirage Lake airport, which it developed with the CIA, and still uses as well.
Please join us in Palmdale, CA, on Friday, January 22, 2016, 10:00am-12:00pm PDT (breakfast and networking at 9:30am) for a presentation and tour of the Facility. The tour will include a visit to a Ground Control Station, observation of Flight Operations, and a visit to Aircraft Hangars where you can get up close with UAVs and see some of their internal workings.
Attendance is limited to US Citizens. The meeting is free for A&D Forum members and $40 for non-members ($30 Early Bird until January 7). Advanced registration is required, and registration closes at COB on January 14. For more information and to register to attend the meeting, go to https://adflajan16.eventbrite.com.
