FAA Requesting Six Drone Testing Sites

Also release plan that outlines a plan they claim will protect the privacy of citizens

WASHINGTON –  A future in which unmanned drones are as common in U.S. skies as helicopters and airliners has moved a step closer to reality with a government request for proposals to create six drone test sites around the country.

The Federal Aviation Administration made the request Thursday, kicking off what is anticipated to be an intense competition between states hoping to win one of the sites.
