Praxis Partners With New York UAS Test Site
Praxis Aerospace Concepts International Inc. announced today that it has entered into a partnership with the New York UAS test site, Griffiss International Airport, to provide the test site with additional expertise as they accomplish requirements toward its support of NASA. The goal of the partnership is to help integrate unmanned aircraft into the national airspace.
NASA has invited test sites to participate in NASA activities as well as to encourage teaming across test sites to gain cost efficiencies and maximize research data that will de delivered to NASA. The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration and in the National Airspace System project (UAS in the NAS) will contribute capabilities designed to reduce technical barriers related to safety and operational challenges associate with enabling routine UAS access to the NAS. Afterwards, Oneida County has been awarded a five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract for future NASA task orders. These task orders may require Praxis’ participation and expertise toward the goal.
“We are very excited to work with Oneida County and Griffiss International Airport,” says Jonathan Daniels, CEO of Praxis. “Teaming up with the New York UAS test site to engage in NASA’s UAS in the NAS research is an exciting development for our company.”
“Praxis Aerospace Concept International Inc. is a great partner, and this partnership reflects our desire to collaborate with companies such as Praxis that have the excellent reputation and expertise within the UAS community and share our commitment to the growth of the UAS industry locally, at the Nevada droneport and nationally,” says Anthony J. Picente Jr., Oneida County executive and operator of the test site at Griffiss International Airport.
