UAV runway work begins


MOSS POINT, Miss. – Work has begun on a new taxiway linking Northrop Grumman Unmanned Systems Center to Trent Lott International Airport's runway. The 419-foot-long project should be finished within two weeks, said Carol Snapp, the airport's executive director. With Taxiway C3 in place, Northrop can begin product flight tests of Fire Scout unmanned helicopters, said site manager Bryan Mahoney. (Source: Mississippi Press, 05/07/07)
