November 4, 2024 | Dawn Zoldi

November is “Ecosystem” month on the Dawn of Autonomy podcast and we’re excited to kick it off with our sponsor, Tom Swoyer, the Founder & President of GrandSKY. In just a few years, Tom Swoyer has led the development of the nation’s first uncrewed systems business park co-located on an active U.S. Air Force Base that focuses on the research, operation and testing of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). GrandSKY is the commercial UAS Flight Operations Center located at Grand Forks Air Force Base (AFB) which offers exceptional testing facilities for UAS and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights. Their tenants benefit from access to a 12,351-foot runway and uncongested airspace for real-world data collection.

Join Dawn and Tom on November 6th to learn about the ecosystem GrandSKY has developed for continuous UAS industry advancements and milestones, from its partners and infrastructure to its projects, such as Project ULTRA  – and learn how you can plug into this unparalleled community of interest in North Dakota!
