National Aerospace Research and Technology Park
The National Aerospace Research and Technology Park is dedicated to facilitating research and development, innovation, and commercialization of emerging aviation technologies. The park is located on a 58-acre parcel adjoining the Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center, a facility dedicated to research, development, and sustainment of the National Airspace System, and the Atlantic City International Airport, a designated Smart Airport Research Test Bed Facility.
Upon full build-out, the park will consist of seven buildings with 400,000 square feet of Class A research and development space in a campus-like setting to promote collaboration among research, academia, and government. Current research partners include Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, the National Institute of Aerospace, Rowan University, and Stockton University.
Among the tenants in the first building are General Dynamics Information Technology, Thunderbolt Software, LLC, the FAA LIFT Lab, the NARTP office, and the Atlantic County Institute of Technology Aviation Program. The building also contains space for small business incubators for aviation-related start-ups. The Atlantic County Improvement Authority financed, constructed, and operates this building.
The NARTP is an integral component in an Aviation Innovation Hub that will greatly contribute to a statewide innovation economy.
