@GDIT, one of the tenants of the NARTP, conducted drone testing today. GDIT employees John Sheairs and Jere Wilson were testing whether a tethered drone would give off electromagnetic currents, something that could potentially interfere with aircraft.
The NARTP was thrilled to join with @ACEANJ & @EmbryRiddle visiting Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst NJ! All 3 agencies are working together to develop an Aviation Training Academy of the Future in south. NJ.
Leadership of the 305th Maintenance Group at @jointbasemdl welcomed reps from the @ACEANJ, @NARTP_aviation, @EmbryRiddle, and the FAA as part of an initiative to develop an Aviation Training Academy of the Future in southern New Jersey.
The $1 million federal economic development planning grant will allow @ACEA to continue their efforts supporting job growth in Atlantic Co./southern NJ. The grant will also help advance research & development efforts underway at the NARTP. https://t.co/klt6jl6qds

@Blthompson13 At least these drones will potentially be serving an important function - participating in emergency response following a natural disaster.
Hosting the June 23 drone exercise is one of ways the National Aviation Research & Technology Park is working to become a premier destination for aviation research. https://t.co/BcWRQbnWWj
