APPLICATIONS
OTHER COMMERCIAL MARKET APPLICATIONS
The 5-year Commercial Drone Market is valued at $20B with military UAV spending for the same period forecasted to be $70B
The Drone Industry is progressing from consumer products and commercial demonstrations to regulated and insured operational fleets.
As beyond-line-of-site operation is permitted and commercial operation is widely adopted, enhanced aircraft endurance and payload will generate significant time and cost advantages over today’s state-of-the-art systems.
