OKLAHOMA CITY -- Gov. Mary Fallin and a delegation of Oklahoma business leaders are targeting the unmanned vehicle industry at a conference in Washington.
Fallin departed Tuesday for the 2011 Unmanned Systems North America conference.
The Oklahoma delegation, which includes business and economic development officials, is hosting a reception Tuesday night to promote the state to the unmanned aerial systems industry.
Fallin says Oklahoma is building a reputation in the aerospace and unmanned vehicle industries.
Oklahoma State University's Multispectral Laboratories owns and operates an unmanned vehicle runway and test facility in Ponca City, and Fallin says the state also offers 200 square miles of testing airspace.
