A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION | To urge the Administrator of the Federal Aviation
Administration to select Ohio as a site for
testing the integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems
into the National Airspace System.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO (THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):
WHEREAS, The race to design, develop, test, manufacture, and
safely integrate and deploy Unmanned Aerial Systems for full
operational use in a cooperative manned and remotely piloted
operational environment has the potential to reward the United
States with a leadership position in emerging domestic and
international growth markets; and |
WHEREAS, In the next 15 years, more than 23,000 jobs could be
created in the United States as a result of integration of
Unmanned Aerial Systems in the National Airspace System, according
to the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International; and |
WHEREAS, Ohio has a long history of involvement with Unmanned
Aerial Systems, including the development of the world's first
Unmanned Aerial System, the "Kettering Bug" in 1918 by the
Dayton-Wright Airplane Company, and the founding of the
Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International in Dayton in
1972; and |
WHEREAS, The Air Force Research Laboratory, headquartered at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, is a major Department of
Defense center for Unmanned Aerial Systems research, which
maintains specialized equipment, including a unique array of
research radars, and employs trained scientific and engineering
personnel who can assist with Unmanned Aerial Systems-related
airspace integration issues; and |
WHEREAS, The Air Force Research Laboratory conducts research
related to Unmanned Aerial Systems for airframes, propulsion
systems, sensors, communications, and man-machine interfaces; and |
WHEREAS, The United States Air Force acquisition management
for major Unmanned Aerial Systems aircraft is located at the
Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in
Ohio; and |
WHEREAS, The Ohio National Guard maintains Brush Creek and
Buckeye Military Operating Areas, formerly restricted airspace,
which are well suited for small Unmanned Aerial Systems Research,
Development, Test, and Evaluation and which could be used safely
for testing the integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems in the
National Airspace System with minimal disruption to air traffic
flow while at the same time not compromising the safety of general
aviation; and |
WHEREAS, The Wilmington Airpark, Springfield Air National
Guard Base, Brush Creek Military Operating Area, and Buckeye
Military Operating Area have the infrastructure, facilities, and
excess capacity that make adaptation to specific Unmanned Aerial
Systems test needs efficient, timely, safe, and inexpensive; and |
WHEREAS, Collaborative relationships are well established in
Ohio for research, development, testing, training, and
manufacturing of Unmanned Aerial Systems including universities,
manufacturers, researchers, workforce developers, the Ohio
National Guard, the State of Ohio, and military, commercial, and
private airspace users; and |
WHEREAS, The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2012, Pub. L. No. 122-81, and the FAA Modernization and
Reform Act of 2012, Pub. L. No. 112-95, require the Administrator
of the Federal Aviation Administration to develop a plan to
integrate Unmanned Aerial Systems into the National Airspace
System and to select test ranges as part of that program; now
therefore be it |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 129th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, conclude that the convergence in Ohio of
human capital, technology, test capabilities, facilities, and
airspace will create the environment for the breakthrough
discoveries that will advance the safe use of Unmanned Aerial
Systems in the National Airspace System; and be it further |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 129th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, urge the Administrator of the Federal
Aviation Administration to select Ohio as a site for testing the
integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems into the National Airspace
System; and be it further |
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly
authenticated copies of this resolution to the President of the
United States, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Speaker and Clerk of the United States House
of Representatives, the President Pro Tempore and Secretary of the
United States Senate, and the members of the Ohio Congressional
delegation. |
