Snyder to Speak on the Future of Drones in N.C. at RCC March 19

Randolph Community College will be hosting guest speaker Kyle Snyder, director of Nextgen Air Transportation Program, on the subject of unmanned aerial vehicles and their future in North Carolina. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The presentation will take place at 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 19, in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium on the Asheboro Campus.

Snyder's work centers on networking researchers and educators with government and industry to prepare the state for future aviation possibilities. His speech will focus on UAV applications, laws of operation in North Carolina, and a display of an actual drone.
