FlightWave Aerospace Systems, Inc. has announced a strategic relationship with AeroVironment. The relationship will enable AeroVironment to incorporate FlightWave’s patented Edge VTOL system technology in AeroVironment’s next generation family of UAS offerings.
“We are thrilled to work with AeroVironment, the leading manufacturer in the industry,” said Edmund Cronin, chief marketing officer at FlightWave Aerospace. “The Edge’s novel VTOL technology enables it to take off and land anywhere without the assistance of additional infrastructure, which means there are no limits when it comes to remote locations. We are honored to be part of this effort to deliver even more valuable capabilities to our military forces.”
AeroVironment plans to adapt the technology behind the Edge, FlightWave’s premier product, by building upon its capabilities for future applications in tactical Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Situation Awareness (SA) missions. “FlightWave’s Edge unmanned aircraft system offers unique capabilities that fit well into our innovative next-generation family of UAS,” said David Sharpin, AeroVironment vice president of Tactical UAS.
