Advisory: Hoeven to Mark Successful Execution of Project Ultra Cargo Delivery Initiative

EMERADO, N.D. – On Friday, July 18, Senator John Hoeven will mark the successful execution of Project ULTRA’s cargo delivery initiative and review live unmanned cargo flights between Grand Forks Air Force Base and Cavalier Space Force Station. Hoeven will lead a press conference with officials from GrandSKY, the Northern Plains UAS Test Site and their project partners to outline this new milestone.

The senator continues working to increase the size and scope of Project ULTRA and will provide an update on the future of the initiative during the press conference.
