Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are controlled by the Army under a program headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama. According to an article in the Huntsville Times, the Army wants to maintain exclusive control of the UAVs, despite Air Force efforts gain control.
The article notes that the UAV office at Redstone employs nearly 250 people, and expects to employ 280 by 2010. Further, Redstone estimates the unmanned airborne system industry creates more than $66 million in business in the North Alabama economy.
