Bell Textron has joined the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Pilot Program (UASIPP) research led by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma (CNO) since May 2018, one of several US research sites. The UASIPP program carries out preliminary work for future planned beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and other more advanced UAS operations. Future missions for the CNO UASIPP team include advanced drone operations – including BVLOS – for agricultural applications, public safety operations, infrastructure inspections, safe operations over people, and weather-related missions.
