It wasn't until 1775 that the Presidio of Tucson was created by Don Hugo O'Connor. At that time, it was the northernmost Spanish outpost in the New World. In 1821, Tucson became part of the new country of Mexico, and in 1853 it became part of the United States as a result of the Gadsden Purchase. In 1863, Arizona became a US territory, and by 1880, its population was around 8,000. In 1912, Arizona became the 48th state to enter the union.

One of the youngest big cities in the nation, Tucson has a median age of just 32. A huge student population and a recent influx of young professionals to fill the booming high-tech job market have made Tucson one of the hippest cities in the nation, with upscale nightlife options more typical of larger cities, but without the big city hassles.

November 7-8, 2007 Tucson AZ – Today Advanced Ceramics Research (ACR) and Cloud Cap Technology (CCT) demonstrated moving capture precision recovery using a Piccolo II equipped Silver Fox UAV with the latest 2.X autopilot software. During the two days of testing the team was ten for ten on autonomous recovery attempts, which included a variety of moving net scenarios. This was the first flight test of the moving capture algorithms and demonstrated the capability required for autonomous shipboard recovery. Shipboard testing will follow early next year. The flight test marks the culmination of a one-year development effort led by Bill Vaglienti, CCT’s co-founder and CTO, and builds upon the initial release of the 2.X branch of Piccolo autopilot code which supported fixed position precision recovery. With the addition of moving capture precision recovery the Piccolo System now supports options for autonomous rolling takeoff, catapult, balloon and tube launching; as well as wheeled, belly, shipboard or land based precision net recovery.
