The recent announcement by General Atomics that it will open a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) training academy in Grand Forks, N.D., adds a second major manufacturer to an unmanned aircraft systems business and technology park that claims to be the first such U.S. facility. The Predator and Reaper manufacturer joins Northrop Grumman, which earlier this year became the first official tenant of the Grand Sky Technology Park.
