Immediate access to uncongested airspace customized to support your real-life drone application testing in the world. Our U-Space Proving Grounds are centered at the Searchlight Airpark (1L3), extending along a 38 mile (61 km) BVLOS corridor into both the Eldorado and Piute Valleys. At slightly less than 1200 square miles, it is one of the largest in the world.
