About this organization
Mission
We save lives and reduce air hazards from drone incursions by empowering a shared safety vision with the FAA's integration of drones into the commercial air traffic system. We do this by providing or sharing safety incursion research data, drone technology best practices, educational materials, and conducting public workshops that promote and protect the public's safety and privacy in an open and ethical manner. We inspire our audiences to act.
About
NIAS continued to grow the Nevada UAS industry by supporting both public and private stakeholders. NIAS focused on the integration of UAS into the national airspace system by consulting to companies who are conducting R&D flights at the numerous UAS ranges throughout the state. By supporting end user technology systems integration, NIAS was able to increase the volume of drone flights in Nevada and beyond, therefore submitting substantial data to the FAA in order to facilitate future drone policy and regulation. NIAS also supports Nevada workforce development by offering a specialized drone training program that prepares pilots to pass the FAA Part 107 exam.
