From the meeting
North Dakota described VANTIS as the nation's first statewide beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) system and said it is moving companies beyond testing into full-scale commercial operations. The network covers nearly 5,000 square miles of operational airspace and offers FAA-approved pathways. This is an open planning signal for vendors tied to autonomy, airspace management, and operational integration.
The practical next discussion is how a company would use the network for deployment and scaling.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
