Oregon UAS Accelerator Information

The Oregon UAS Accelerator awards a $40K grant to small to mid-sized startups working individually or collaboratively to commercialize their unmanned aerial or ground innovations. Selected startups receive free workspace, mentoring, and investment training (an in-kind value of $110K.) In addition, each startup team is assigned two paid interns from local colleges and universities. No equity stake requested or required. Accelerator is based at Pendleton UAS Range, a preeminent UAS test range with over 50,000 test flights completed. Innovators gain access to unparalleled flight test environments within 14,000 sq. miles in Oregon, permitting ops up to 15,000 MSL, and no platform size restrictions. Our range is certified for laser testing as well as multiple drones with a single operator testing (swarming).
