Marinvent Fields UAV Flight Test Tool

A number of private entities have developed optionally-piloted UAVs to enable flight test in airspace that has not been sterilized of other traffic: CIRPAS in Northern California, as well as Scaled Composites with their Proteus both come to mind.  The fact that a small Canadian company would actually win a prestigious industry award for creativity in solving commercial problems by fielding UAS-related solutions says something about the importance of UAS research internationally.
