Williston Economic Development hosted a Workhorse Aerospace demonstration showcasing the latest advances in Unmanned Aerial Systems.
Held at the former Sloulin Field International Airport hangar, the demonstration also featured guests from TrainND Northwest and Vantis. Workhorse Aerospace is a division of Workhorse Technologies in Loveland, Ohio. The company is designing and working towards FAA type certification of its small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) called the HorseFly, which visitors got to see in action on Tuesday.
The primary mission for the HorseFly UAS is small package delivery, focusing on the market for 10 lbs. delivered up to 10-miles. Visitors watched as the HorseFly flew around the former airport, carrying a small parcel.
Workhorse has been working with the Northern Plains UAS Test Site (NPUASTS) to partner in programs such as Vantis and eventually Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations.
“One of the big emerging technologies that we’re experiencing here in Williston and the region is the rise of unmanned aerial systems,” Economic Development Director Shawn Wenko told the Williston Herald. “That’s due in part to the Vantis network, which is the statewide non-visual line of sight network that the State of North Dakota has funded. We’re now seeing a lot of companies that want to test their technology on the network, and they’re reaching out to us to find an area, find opportunities on how they can test that.”
