Abstract	This talk will discuss a new flight test facility known as the Real-time indoor Autonomous Vehicle test ENvironment (RAVEN). RAVEN was developed by the Aerospace Controls Laboratory (ACL) at MIT to promote the rapid prototyping of UAS planning and control technologies. The facility allows the use of unmodified commercially available model aircraft for autonomous flight testing. I will discuss the facility and present experimental results of a fixed wing UA performing several hover tests, transition maneuvers, and perch landings. The talk will also illustrate how RAVEN is being used to investigate related work on air combat with UAs and autonomous aerobatics.
