AAI has more than 25 years of experience designing, producing, testing, fielding, and supporting unmanned systems throughout the world.

Our foremost unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is the highly regarded RQ-7B Shadow^® Tactical UAS, in service with both the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. Shadow systems have amassed a record number of operational hours, including vital support of warfighters in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

AAI’s Aerosonde^® small UAS is manufactured by our wholly owned subsidiary, Aerosonde Pty Ltd of Australia. The lightweight UAS can be launched using a catapult system or from the top of a fast-moving ground vehicle.

In support of our UAS, we have developed an interoperability network of common ground control systems — the U.S. Army’s designated One System^® Ground Control Station, One System Portable Ground Control Station, and One System Remote Video Terminal.

We have leveraged that expertise to deliver a maritime command and control solution, which is offered with our Common Unmanned Surface Vessel, or CUSV. AAI also can convert vessels from a manned to an unmanned configuration.
