    The Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance (NUAIR) is a regional alliance of private industry, academic institutions, and military assets in New York and Massachusetts working to establish an FAA-designated test site for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The FAA is required to select six test sites by the end of 2013 to conduct research and collect data to safely integrate UAS into the national airspace. NUAIR aims to be selected as one of these sites to attract jobs, investment, and grow the UAS industry in the region, taking advantage of existing infrastructure like airports, military bases, and expertise at universities and private companies.

    Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance

    What is the Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance (NUAIR)?


    We are a regional alliance of private industry, academic institutions and military assets and operations, working together to establish a Federal Aviation Administration-designated test site for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the Northeast, based in New York and Massachusetts.

    The Issue: FAA Required to Select Six UAS Test Sites

    January 2012 President Obama signs legislation requiring the FAA to select six UAS test sites by the end of the year (FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012; National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2012) The purpose of the sites is to conduct research, collect data, etc. for 5 years in order to begin to safely integrate unmanned vehicles and systems into the National Airspace (NAS) These sites are where the industry will proliferate, where jobs will be created and where research and testing will be conducted. Companies, jobs and private and public sector investment will be attracted to these sites.
    New York State, particularly Upstate, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have the assets and expertise to be selected as one of these sites.

    Timeline
    February, 2013 FAA releases their Screening Information Request (SIR) 50 competitors register

    May 6, 2013 Deadline for submission of the last of the seven volumes of the SIR 25 sites complete the application process
    December, 2013 FAA deadline to selected six test sites

    Why Compete for a UAS Test Site?

    70,000 new jobs nationwide in the UAS industry by 2017; 100,000 by 2025
    (According to AUVSI The Economic Impact of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration in the United States)

    Retain thousands of existing jobs and attract private sector jobs. Attract significant research investment to our companies, colleges and universities. Expand our globally competitive sensor and radar industrial base. NY and MA can meet all the FAA criteria. NY and MA have political support at the local, state and federal level.
