On this week’s episode of Dawn of Autonomy, part of the “UTM and Infrastructure” series sponsored by Airspace Link, the focus turns to California’s Inland Empire and the UAS Center at SBD. Featured guests include Dave Krause, President of Influential Drones and Norton Test Range Manager for the UAS Center at SBD, alongside Kimberly Benson, the Center’s Administrator. Together, they discuss how the Norton Test Range and UAS Center at San Bernardino International Airport provide a structured environment for UAS flight operations, UTM integration, and the evaluation of AI and autonomy-enabled systems. These efforts support public safety, commercial, and research users, enabling real-world testing of both aerial and ground-based systems.
Tune in for an operational perspective on how coordinated leadership, test ranges, and applied training are shaping the future of uncrewed aviation and airspace integration.
