ICYMI: Good news for our region
Posted by Randy | June 09, 2016

Wallops Island is already home to innovative work in the commercial space industry as well as important NASA and U.S. military missions. I’m delighted the Navy is considering basing the MQ-4C Triton unmanned maritime patrol aircraft at Wallops -- an ideal location to permanently station this important asset.

In case you missed it, I recently led 18 Representatives and Senators from both parties in sending a letter to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations urging the use of Wallops Island, Virginia as the permanent East Coast base for the MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft. The letter was signed by Members of the House and Senate from Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware.
This growth at Wallops Island is important to our region and to our national security – and I will continue working to position Wallops Island to continue to lead U.S. space efforts in the future.

Yours in service,

Randy
