UAF unmanned aircraft program expands to Iceland

ξ The University of Alaska Fairbanks partnered with UAS Iceland to expand unmanned aircraft operations in Iceland in early 2014
ξ collaboration done with UAS Iceland is via UAF’s Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration
ξ it will support arctic science, including glacier studies, volcano monitoring, marine mammal research and environmental observations
ξ the agreement also has the potential to support mapping efforts and search and rescue missions
ξ Iceland has opportunities in Iceland every day for unmanned aircraft support
ξ /Sigurdur Hrafnsson, president of UAS Iceland, a commercial company that consults with the Icelandic government/
ξ the UAF Geophysical Institute has one of the most comprehensive non-military unmanned aircraft program in North America
ξ it is the leader in arctic UAS operations
ξ the Iceland facilities include several well-maintained former NATO hangars,
ξ office and conference facilities, billeting and access to more than 20 airstrips with their associated infrastructure
ξ high latitude science and research is the heart of UAF
ξ the partnership with colleagues in Iceland is a logical extension of the work /UAF Chancellor Brian Rogers/
ξ operations between ACUASI and UAS Iceland are expected to begin summer 2014 /Marty Rogers, ACUASI director/
ξ FAA named UAF to operate one of six UAS test ranges in the country Dec. 30, 2013
ξ the test range is called the Pan-Pacific Test Range Complex and includes partners in Oregon and Hawaii
ξ UAF is a founding member of the University of the Arctic
ξ Iceland is home to several UArctic partner organizations
ξ the University of the Arctic is a cooperative network of universities, colleges,
ξ and other organizations committed to higher education and research in the North
