International UAS Test Group Adds Fifth Member
ICATS represents the first such collaboration between nations to share data on unmanned aerial systems.

The International Consortium of Aeronautical Test Sites (ICATS) welcomed CATUAV Tech Center (CTC) in Barcelona as its fifth member here at the Farnborough International Airshow yesterday, adding Spain to the list of countries involved in the partnership. The other countries represented in the group include Canada, the U.S., the UK and France.

In April, representatives of the UAV test and service center (CESA), Bordeaux, France, the Oklahoma State University–University Multispectral Laboratories, U.S., the National Aeronautical Centre, Wales, signed the MOU. This agreement consolidates the various MOUs signed between the centers over the past two years.
