GA-ASI to expand presence at Grand Sky
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) will significantly expand its presence at Grand Sky, the civil UAS-focused research and development park in the US.
Under the agreement, GA-ASI will expand its current leased space of 5.5 acres to 20 acres, all located along Grand Sky’s beachfront, which provides immediate access to Grand Forks Air Force Base’s 12,351ft runway. Terms of the lease are in place for ten years.
GA-ASI intends to use its expanded space at Grand Sky to support UAS aircraft and sensor testing, training and development activities.
GA-ASI operates a Flight Test and Training Center in Grand Forks, with flight operations taking place at Grand Sky, in addition to other research activities.
Linden Blue, CEO, GA-ASI, said: ‘We’re excited to expand our footprint at Grand Sky as part of our Flight Test and Training Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. This growth, from 5.5 acres to 20 acres, will benefit our customers, as well as strengthen our commitment to the Grand Forks community as we further build out our test and training capabilities.’
