Had the best time this week visiting @msstate for the @ASSUREuas PMR! Great catching up with friends like LeighAlison Jones and seeing all the innovative research happening across the partner schools. Huge thanks to @MSStateRaspet for hosting us for dinner.

Expanding capability. Supporting mission-driven research. Advancing what’s next in uncrewed systems.

The TALON UAS is joining Raspet’s fleet.

Proving counter-UAS performance outside controlled environments is tough—but it’s where real innovation happens. At Raspet, we can test against everything from small drones to our Teros platform.

If your tech needs flight validation, let’s explore what we can test together.

Excited to work with our partners in Louisiana to establish real world logistical solutions along the Gulf Coast!

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

🚨The future of flight is here under @POTUS with eight new pilot projects as a part of our Advanced Air Mobility pilot program:

🛬 Safely test futuristic aircraft that will RADICALLY CHANGE the way people and products move

🚁 Partners will use these aircraft for all kinds of scenarios, including: urban air taxis, regional travel, cargo logistics, and emergency medicine

🇺🇸 This will create one of the WORLD’s largest testing environments for next-generation aircraft in states all across America

It all begins THIS SUMMER!

Where research meets runway.

Future focused. Mission ready.

[British Consulate-General Atlanta @UKinAtlanta]

That's a wrap on our packed two-day visit to Starkville, MS! Day one saw a whirlwind of activity at @MSState. The Consul General gave a Marshall Scholarship overview to @ShackoulsHonors students and met with University President Dr. Mark Keenum.

Then the team headed over to tour the innovative labs at @MSStateRaspet and @msstateACI, before ending the day at a mixer hosted by @MSStateResDev, where we met with local companies who plan to attend @FIAFarnborough as part of @mdaworks's delegation.

Flight tests, elevated. ✈️
A higher perspective on the research driving the future of flight at Mississippi State’s Raspet Flight Research Laboratory. #FutureFocusedMissionReady

"It is a lot more safe for us to send a drone than it is a person," says Public Information Officer @cbeaumoore. Watch how Oxford is using drones to keep our community safe! @OxfordPolice, @LafCoSheriff, @umlaw1854, @MSStateRaspet https://t.co/beAR0vdDOp

[Spencer McAnally @SpencerMcAnally]

As we worked through transforming the gameday experience at DWS, we leaned on various campus partners to help us elevate.

Camera Jib from @MsstateTV
Live Drone from @MSStateRaspet
Light Programming from @MSUComm

That collaboration is what makes a college campus truly special. #HailState🐶

Mississippi State has been selected by DARPA to lead a groundbreaking project in autonomous soaring. Raspet and partners will develop tech that lets uncrewed aircraft harness wind + thermals for ultra-long-endurance flight. 🛰️🦅

Drones are reshaping natural disaster response by giving first responders the ability to assess damage, locate survivors & deliver supplies.

@RepSheriBiggs asked @MSStateRaspet's Bryan Farrell to discuss the partnerships between public institutions & DHS that make this possible.

Our team's expertise in UAS operations and coordination allowed first responders to evaluate advanced drone technology in real-world scenarios, and the feedback collected will help emergency response organizations make informed decisions in procuring these critical technologies.

We're incredibly proud of our team for their contributions to the @dhsscitech National Urban Security Technology Laboratory and the SAVER Assessment of Blue Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for First Responders in Miami.
