WAHPETON — "The skies are open for business in North Dakota."
That
statement was how John Perry, CEO of the Florida-based unmanned aerial
system company Altavian, described the milestone occasion of the first
drone manufactured in North Dakota as it was rolled out Friday.
The
unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) machinery was built at ComDel
Innovation in Wahpeton. The company signed an agreement with Altavian to
manufacture the UAS drones and components in Wahpeton.
Because of
the partnership, ComDel hosted the celebration of the roll-out with
representatives from both companies as well as government officials
present.
"This is a fairly mature technology and is already being
used by public agencies," Perry said at the event. "The recent changes
in the regulations now allows for operations so what we really see
coming is a big scale-up in the industry.
