THE RISE IN UAVS

• Use of UAVs has grown rapidly in recent years due to:• Significant recent technical advances making UAVs more flexible,

reliable and readily available

• Significant cost and safety considerations – no danger to the pilot or flight crew and much cheaper than traditional aircraft

• UAVs can stay aloft for many hours

• UAVs continue as the most dynamic growth sector of the world aerospace industry this decade†

BENEFITS OF UAVS 12

Compared to

manned aircraft,

UAVs are:

• Significantly more cost

efficient

• More effective with

considerably more optionality

• More productive

• Provide faster deployment

• More time efficient – can fly at

times when helicopters/other

aircraft cannot

• Inexpensive compared to helicopters and other aircrafts

• Easy to deploy and operate

• Imaging capability:• Optical – still/video

• Infrared

• 360º view

• “Cloud” based data storage and retrieval

UAS PILOT TRAINING & SERVICES

• Co-operation agreement signed with a major US defence contractor to provide facilities and

manpower to train military pilots transitioning from basic pilot training to flying fixed wing UAVs

• UAV use is expanding for military tactical missions – acute need for training with annual losses

of Predator and Reaper aircraft from crashes in the take-off and landing phase currently

amounting to several million dollars

• Initial estimates are that one branch of the military will require 750 pilots to be trained each

year – the prime contractor will be providing the equipment including up to three fixed wing

training UAVs

• Training will take place in Roswell, New Mexico (U.S.) – personnel and full facilities including

new UAV runways, accommodation, training vehicles and software are ready to commence

operations

• A second UAV training facility is planned at Valkenburg following a Letter of Intent being signed

with the Netherlands Government

UAS PILOT TRAINING & SERVICES

• Opportunities in training due to existing agreements and capacity scalability at the UAS

Training Centre in Roswell, New Mexico - State sponsored/locally supported

• Targeting law enforcement agencies – Federal, State and Local for opportunities with fixed wing

and in particular multi-rotor UAVs – driven by inherent flexibility, cost savings, safety and

minimal disruption to the public compared with current helicopter based operations

• First turnkey demonstration/rental multi-rotor UAV already operational

• Research lab at Los Alamos, New Mexico demonstration proved technical feasibility for Law

Enforcement Agency requirements

• Objective to sell nationally as a part of its commercialisation plan for law enforcement

• Strong sales pipeline with several potential clients
