Applies To Participate In UAS Integration Pilot Program The State of Nevada has completed the first step for applying to participate in the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Integration Pilot Program (IPP). By filing a notice of intent, the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) will serve as Nevada’s lead applicant for the program, which was developed as an opportunity for state, local and tribal governments to partner with private sector entities, such as UAS operators or manufacturers, to prepare proposals for more advanced UAS operations, such as beyond visual line-of-sight or UAS operations over people. The competition to participate in the FAA program is fierce, with more than 200 notices of intent submitted and only five spots guaranteed.
