New Indoor Colorado Drone Facility

Another innovation towards better training and operation of drones.

Every week there are stories about new efforts toward integrating drones into the operational culture of first responders. Here is one about a new training site, Colorado Drone Facility Paves Way for Public Safety Innovations.

I would have liked to see a picture of the facility to get a better idea of its size and configuration. Having an "open roof" concept is a good one for enabling the use of GPS on training drones.
