Army Unmanned Aerial Systems Museum

This is a fairly new museum recently assembled in the Annex Building across the street from The Buffalo Soldier Museum. For over 50 years Fort Huachuca has been the home to the world's largest unmanned aircraft systems training facility, as well, it has been a critical national asset in support of the Army's Unmanned Aerial Systems because of its restricted airspace and abundant training resources. They train Soldiers and Marines to fly and maintain a variety of UAVs. The museum has a number of small unmanned drones on display, that were tested at the Fort, as well as some of the cameras and GPS systems that were tested and used years ago in training. There is also a model of the UAS control simulator that was used for training pilots. The Fort is the primary training facility for all UAS Soldiers. If you have the time there is a small theatre down in front, with handicap access, where you will find chairs and a table to sit and watch video or read some of the books that are available there. This is a must see museum while visiting the Fort. It is located just across the parking lot from the Buffalo Soldiers Museum and an easy short walk. There is no charge to visit.

A MUST SEE MUSEUM-WHERE SOME OF TODAY'S WAR HEADLINES BEGINThis museum is housed in the former "old post" movie theater where I saw lots of movies from 1950-1954 while the post was closed! My father was a civilian guard as part of the maintenance folk that lived on the fort. When it reopened he worked in procurement and was a contracting officer for the "bis red" drone. It was being long-distance tested between Fort Huachuca and USAYPG (us army Yuma Proving Ground!)The unmanned aerial vehicle has come a long way even into child play!!The museum has examples of the evolution of the UAV!
