ITRE aviation conducts flight operations under Part 107 rules and has successfully obtained many Certificates of Operation (COAs) that have allowed NC State to operate large UAS (up to 300 lbs.) and at altitudes up to 3,000 AGL. We understand that UAS in the NAS sometimes perform as expected or not as expected, but either way another research data set is created in the need to demonstrate the potential for UAS operating in domestic, civilian airspace.

Every UAS flight by the ITRE Aviation Team is a successful research flight.

The ITRE Aviation team supports local and national organizations preparing for the economic, disruptive, and technology advancement opportunities that UAS are promising by offering access to university researchers and facilities, state natural resources to provide flight research locations, and programs specifically designed to accelerate the integration and adoption of UAS into the National Airspace System.

These services include consulting, site management of an operating area, flight operations for data capture, and data analysis. Through the ITRE Aviation Service Center, the Aviation Team is able to offer a wide range of flight services to support partners in building and testing UAS capabilities.

ITRE Aviation can provide flight services and access to flight locations.

Flight Services and Access to Flight Locations.

The Aviation Team is always looking for new opportunities to utilize our resources or expand the research capabilities necessary to test new UAS technologies and airspace integration concepts. The ITRE Aviation Team includes several nationally recognized UAS subject matter experts who are frequently invited as speakers, panelists, or contributors for discussions on emerging UAS trends and opportunities. The Aviation Team is working with North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Division of Aviation, the FAA, and industry partners to make UAS operations routine, safe, and accepted activities in our daily lives. With thousands of UAS flights and hundreds of hours of flight time, the Aviation Team is a nationally recognized leader in UAS integration into the National Airspace System. Today, the UAS research and services activities at ITRE cover a wide range of capabilities and opportunities.

This ability to reach across campus and across the rest of the UNC System to access the best resource for a particular project allows ITRE to meet the multi-disciplinary needs of the modern aviation community that uses the air transportation system in new ways every day. The ITRE Aviation team works with many NC State colleges and departments including Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Computer Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the College of Natural Resources. NC State is the lead university for Command and Control (C2) research activities on ASSURE. ITRE is proud to represent NC State University as a core member of the ASSURE alliance which is the team of universities selected as the FAA’s UAS Center of Excellence in May of 2015. The ITRE Aviation Team consists of a balanced group of experienced aviation professionals with a proven technology development track record that includes years of applied research and testing, both crewed and uncrewed flight operations, and aerospace business development knowledge. As the state of North Carolina transitions to a future aerospace environment, ITRE is prepared to collaborate with industry, researchers, regulators, and government agencies.

As the FAA’s NextGen Program approaches critical milestone dates, UAS integration will continue to expand at faster and faster rates. The Aviation Focus Area at ITRE was established in 2012 to support the rising demands of research, training, and services in the modern aviation community. Aviation has been and continues to be an essential component of North Carolina’s economy, culture, and history.
