has started this week the construction of a tech centre for UAS, robotics and remote sensing civil projects. The CATUAV Tech Center (CTC) will be open to any company, research center, university or individual interested on using its UAS airfield and facilities in order to develop, test and/or certify UAS technology.
The centre is situated at Moià, 45 km north from Barcelona (Spain), in a 14 hectare terrain. The first step of the project includes the construction of a building of near 300 square meters that will have offices, UAS workshop, UAS laboratory, UAS control centre, UAS hangar space and on-site accommodation. The building will be perfectly integrated with a UAS airfield that is 350 long and 100 meters wide and completely free of obstacles and radio-electric interferences.
Construction will end before summer 2014 and the centre will open on September 2014.
