The state’s Job Training Incentive Program board has approved $732,157 to support creation of 55 new jobs including positions at a startup company that plans to make solar-powered, unmanned aerial vehicles in Moriarty.
Titan Aerospace, formed a year ago, is developing a solar-powered High Altitude Long Endurance UAV called the SOLARA 40 that could be capable of flying on its own for several years. The board approved $141,390 to support seven jobs. The company declined to discuss its plans in more detail on Wednesday.
