For UAS, the company enables complex operations by providing a wide range of advanced equipment for airborne and ground command, navigation, and surveillance systems.  When combined with aviation data and software services for managing command and control (C2) communications and detect and avoid (DAA) efforts, the low size, weight and power (SWaP) equipment creates a powerful ecosystem ready-made for scalable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
