Come see the many ways our Huntsville Test Range - UAH can help you!

Range operations don’t always end when the sun goes down.
The Huntsville Test Range can support night UAS operations for testing, demonstrations, training and other operational needs.

From airspace and range coordination to on-site flight support, our team can help provide what’s needed to safely operate after dark — including night operations training tailored to your mission set.

Have a requirement that doesn’t fit into a typical flight day? Let’s talk.

A few weeks ago, RSESC hosted Alabama Shield 2026 at the Huntsville Test Range - UAH

First responders, public safety teams and academia participated in hands-on UAS training, gaining experience with different platforms, technologies and operational scenarios.

We appreciate Representative Dale Strong , The University of Alabama in Huntsville President Dr. Donald Leo, and Brian Naugher from Senator Tommy Tuberville office for joining us, speaking with attendees and continuing to support our efforts.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Alabama Shield 2026, including teams from Auburn Tigers, Rising Tide Technology Group Inc FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency , Huntsville Police Department and Alabama Emergency Management Agency along with other organizations and first responders who helped make it a great event!

A huge thank you to ASSURE UAS for a continued partnership.

A Part 107 certificate is where many drone operators start. It doesn't have to be where training stops.

At A2R, we offer more than just Part 107 Test Prep. From classroom instruction and hands-on flight training to night operations, search and rescue, and custom courses built around your team's mission, our training is conducted at the

Huntsville Test Range, providing access to a real-world environment designed to prepare you for operational success. Whether you're preparing for the Part 107 exam, bringing new pilots up to speed, or developing more advanced capabilities, we're here to help.

Discover why the Huntsville Test Range's unique location provides the real-world conditions needed to move innovation forward. ✈️

"A test range next to an airport?"

We get that question a lot.

While it may seem like an unusual location, many of the systems being developed today are intended to operate in and around complex airspace environments. Testing in a remote field doesn't always provide the same operational insights as testing in realistic conditions.

Through coordination with local air traffic control and established safety processes, the Huntsville Test Range provides a unique environment where users can evaluate technologies in conditions that more closely reflect real-world operations.

Test where you'll operate.
