UD in line for $3 million state grant
The Third Frontier Commission awarded a $3 million grant to the University of Dayton to establish an unmanned aerial vehicle technology center. UD is collaborating with the Air Force Research Lab at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as well as seven companies, including Defense Research Associates, L-3 Communications Nova Engineering and UltraCell Corp.
The grant is contingent on approval by the state Controlling Board.
The Third Frontier Commission recommended $24 million in grants through the Wright Projects Program which helps Ohio universities and research institutions make upgrades needed to do technology commercialization projects.
