Canadian And Japanese Companies Will Manufacture UAVs, Autopilot Systems
AVIDRONE Aerospace Incorporated is pleased to announce that it has secured investment, and formed a business alliance with Japanese professional drone manufacturer, PRODRONE Co. Ltd.
The two companies will manufacture innovative UAV aircraft and custom autopilot systems, revolutionizing the commercial and industrial markets with new ways to gather data, increase security, and deliver goods. Through a specially developed industrial autopilot system and drone designs, their products will have the unique capacity to transport items weighing between 0.5kg to over 250kg at speeds approaching 108 knots. The significant increase in flight performance in both speed and endurance, paired with secure flight control and simple user interface technology, is revolutionary.
“Our collaboration with AVIDRONE Aerospace will allow us to manufacture highly functional, innovative products that have not been available in the marketplace until now. With AVIDRONE’s capabilities, we can respond with solutions allowing customers' special requests to become possible " explains Mr. Kono, CEO of PRODRONE.
“Our extensive R&D and aviation background allowed us to create the most advanced flight control and helicopter UAV designs. We’re offering something no one has seen before” says Scott Gray, CEO of AVIDRONE Aerospace. “Our new partnership with PRODRONE extends our brand globally; we’re thrilled."
The partnership and new products were announced at the InterDrone 2017 Expo held in Las Vegas last month.
