SIERRA VISTA — Only about a dozen jobs will be affected by the planned relocation of unmanned aerial vehicle testing facilities from Douglas to Utah, a Northrop Grumman spokeswoman said Thursday.

The MQ-5B Hunter unmanned aerial systems training and engineering test facilities at the Cochise College Flight Line employs 186 people, said Leah Smith, Northrop Grumman media relations manager. Of those employees, 13 will move with the program to the new Rapid Integration and Acceptance Center at the Dugway Proving Grounds at Michael Army Airfield in Utah.
