A new enclosure for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) testing gives the Systems Management and Production (SMAP) Center at UAH new capabilities to test software and hardware while not violating Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules. With his center recently moved across Sparkman Drive from the main UAH campus, SMAP Director Dr. Gary Maddux recognized opportunity when he saw a chain-link fenced enclosing a portion of the parking lot nearby the building. Matthew Perr and Frank Nielson helped out by designing an extendable pole and rope system that supports black polyethylene netting to create a 20-foot-high, 100 by 50-foot enclosure. The poles are designed to raise and lower the net on rollers.
