"The UAS group opens up numerous academic partnerships, internships and job creation opportunities in Oklahoma," said Stan Finch, President, Berry Aviation. "This uniquely allows Berry to better serve our DOD customer base in mission areas such as Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), and other innovative research and development avenues, including optionally manned aircraft."
