Camp Grayling Designated as Key Military Test Range for Drone Technology Partnerships
The U.S. Army has designated Camp Grayling in Michigan as a leading test range for drone technology, facilitating private partnerships. This initiative aims to streamline the testing process for companies, significantly reducing the time required for equipment testing from 12-18 months to approximately 30 days.

Camp Grayling has been chosen as one of five military sites to collaborate with private companies on drone technology. The Army's new initiative will simplify access to testing environments, allowing companies to schedule tests in about 30 days via a dedicated website, testrange.army.mil.
This move follows a bipartisan effort from Michigan's congressional delegation to enhance defense manufacturing and technology in the state. The program's focus extends to drones, counterdrone technology, long-range fires, and low-cost interceptors. The change is expected to accelerate the delivery of emerging capabilities to military personnel, enhancing the overall defense industry in Michigan.
