| Prioria Robotics receives $4.5 million contract from the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force. | |||
Prioria Robotics, Inc., developers of the tactical Small Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (SUAS) announced today that it has been awarded several contracts
totaling $4.5 million by the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force. This multi-system
order will position the Maveric Unmanned Aircraft System® (UAS) as
a next generation UAS capability to support the warfighter. As part of
this recent contract, Maveric UAS® successfully completed certification
by the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). |

 The Maveric is a mini unmanned aerial system (MUAS) developed by Florida-based Prioria Robotics. |

The U.S. Army has shifted its focus to smaller, more rapidly deployable units with the proper equipment to support their missions. Maveric UAS® is a single-person operable and portable aircraft, usable in the most rugged conditions and equipped with the largest number of payload options of any hand-launched UAS, including day, night, Short Wave Infrared, and other custom payloads utilizing Prioria's modular payload system. Maveric UAS® provides next generation capability at a great value with a low cost of ownership. "It is our goal to support the warfighter. Having ATEC certifications means that we have a safe and reliable system," said Bryan da Frota, Chief Executive Officer of Prioria Robotics, Inc. "We believe as the mission changes and evolves, Maveric UAS® will become an instrumental component to meeting these missions." |
