“U.S. government buyers hold drone suppliers to some of the most rigorous security and supply chain standards anywhere. The RQ-35 cleared that bar, and this first order is the proof.”
Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, Executive Chairman of AIRO
“Many drone companies start in the U.S. and work to prove themselves abroad. AIRO did the reverse.”
