GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Nov. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- ) 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).
