WILMINGTON, Mass., - Massachusetts-based Ascent AeroSystems announced that it has received a follow-on order for its ground-breaking Spirit unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and signed an agreement to expand existing business and technical cooperation with Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos.
"Dynetics and Ascent AeroSystems have built a strong relationship over the last couple of years, and we're delighted to expand our collaboration. The order for additional Spirits is great validation of our technology and evidence of its unmatched performance and unique capabilities," said Ascent AeroSystems' CEO Peter Fuchs.
With a unique cylindrical configuration that's far more portable and rugged than conventional multi-rotor drones, Ascent's coaxials are ideal for mission-critical operations in the toughest environments.
