Parallax Solutions is donating a permanent UAS, UAV, FPV, and UGV exhibit to the Dakota Territory Air Museum. The exhibit will occupy a major display area and present the history, development, and future of unmanned systems in a public, educational museum setting.

Unmanned aviation has changed rapidly. What started with early RC aircraft, hobby experimentation, FPV flight, and small drone platforms has grown into a major field that now supports public safety, emergency response, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, mapping, STEM education, military aviation, robotics, and counter-UAS defense.

This exhibit is being built to preserve that story.

The display will include examples and educational sections covering:

Early RC and FPV systems

Hobby FPV and drone racing

Commercial drone applications

Public safety and emergency response UAS

Military and defense-related UAS history

Modern FPV systems

Counter-UAS technologies

UGV and ground robotics

STEM and youth education connections

Parallax Solutions is donating the collection and helping build the educational concept, but a professional museum installation requires more than artifacts. Funds are needed for the final infrastructure that makes the exhibit safe, durable, educational, and public-ready.

Donations will help cover:

Display cases

Mounting hardware

Lighting

Printed educational panels

Signage

Multimedia displays

Shipping and transport

Artifact handling

Installation materials

Final museum presentation costs

The goal is to complete the installation before August 1, 2026, due to a hard relocation timeline. Community support will make the difference between having the materials available and having a finished, professional exhibit that can serve the public for years.

This project is educational, historical, and technology-focused. It is designed to help visitors understand how unmanned systems developed, why they matter, and how they are used across civilian, emergency, commercial, military, and STEM fields.

Your donation helps preserve a fast-moving part of aviation history before it disappears into private storage, disposal, or scattered collections.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Every contribution helps bring this permanent exhibit to life at the Dakota Territory Air Museum.
