The AUVSI San Diego Lindbergh Chapter has teamed with the Indian Wells Valley Airport District (IWVAD) in its efforts to respond to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Screening for Information Request (SIR) and develop an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Test Range in a partnership with civil and military government agencies, academia, and industry.

The AUVSI San Diego Lindbergh Chapter joins the San Diego Regional Economic Development Council (EDC), the San Diego Military Advisory Council (SDMAC), the Imperial County EDC, County of Imperial, Holtville Airport and defense contractors including General Atomics, Cubic Corporation, and Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. in this initiative. This coalition has joined an already established entity called the California Unmanned Systems Portal (Cal UAS Portal), which is based in Indian Wells, to create a proposed UAV Test Site that would extend from the NAS China Lake/Edwards Air Force Area, West to the Pacific Ocean, South to the Mexican border, and East to the Arizona border.

The AUVSI San Diego Lindbergh Chapter board members involved in this effort are Michael Rigney and Monica England.

San Diego is at the forefront of unmanned systems technology – rich in technology in both the public and private sectors, San Diego is the ideal region for conducting an effective business interface for the mutual benefit of all members. The San Diego Lindbergh Chapter is dedicated to the advancement of unmanned systems and technology in the greater Southwest region. The Chapter enthusiastically engages in initiatives with the public and private sector for the advancement and advocacy of unmanned systems, and is a value added resource for the integration and interoperability of space, air, ground, sea and undersea systems.
