Montana Colleges Launching Unmanned Aerial System Project

"Montana has a legacy of short-term thinking and letting our resources go downstream without value-adding anything. This is a forward-looking industry."

As part of an effort to court an industry with enormous potential for growth, Whitefish state Sen. Ryan Zinke http://leg.mt.gov/css/Sessions/62nd/leg_info.asp?HouseID=0&SessionID=105&LAWSID=6491 is co-director of a project focused on bringing unmanned aerial systems, or drones, to Montana for testing and research.

"Unmanned aircraft systems have changed military aviation," Zinke, a former Navy SEAL commander, said, "and it will change civilian aviation."

"I think Montana has an opportunity to leverage the ‘Big Sky’ to bring about that change," he added.
