The KEAS Lab is a shared facility supporting a wide range of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) research and education activities by users throughout the university community. Located near the center of a nearly 2000 acre research farm, the KEAS Lab provides a safe, remote location for UAS flight testing that is just a 20 minute drive from the main campus.
