The Naval Postgraduate School's Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) was established by the Office of Naval Research in the spring of 1996 to provide Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) flight services to the research, development, test and evaluation communities. The facility’s capabilities have expanded to include military training exercises and operational demonstrations. NPS/CIRPAS has deployed/operated air vehicle systems in support of both CONUS and OCONUS flight activity.
