Abstract	General Session Abstract For Calspan Corporation Louis H. Knotts President Abstract Current work on going within the Flight Research Group of Calspan includes flight test work supporting Unmanned Air Vehicle research, and airborne testbed work. The Unmanned Air Vehicle flight test utilizes the Calspan variable stability Learjets to conduct flight test in support of the Automatic Aerial Refueling and Sense and Avoid projects. This is a multi-year effort and will continue through 2011 and 2012. A flight test program in support of DRS was recently accomplished to provide a flight demonstration of a deployable flight data recorder and on-board wireless video monitoring. Calspan has recently acquired a Gulfstream 3 aircraft which will soon be modified to serve as an onboard systems test bed.
