 Emerging Market New Independent Study: Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Systems And Whom To WatchMarket Review and Study Identifies Top 5 Companies to watch as the U.S. Domestic Unmanned Aircraft Systems market takes flight.
By: Soar A5 ATLANTA - June 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Over the last decade the U.S. Government, specifically the Department of Defense, has invested billions in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) primarily for military purposes. During the next decade a new group of companies is poised to take advantage of the knowledge learned as these systems, concepts and technologies move into the mainstream. Universities such as the University of Minnesota, Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University, North Dakota State, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Michigan and multiple others are offering classes and degrees in Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and entrepreneurs across the globe see the potential. Although billions have been invested in military solutions, the next area of investment will bring about the growth of the infrastructure components needed to provide the tools to create the solutions. The opportunity for business creation and growth that will come with the adoption of these aircraft systems technologies will also create significant investment opportunities for those with the insight to understand where and how these systems will provide service. A comprehensive review of this market indicates the following companies show significant potential as investment opportunities. The ranking and criteria for making this list included, technology innovation and convergence, Intellectual Property, investment potential, and competitive advantage. Each of these companies will provide some of the key infrastructure solutions needed by all manufacturers and service providers based on the current identified needs of the UAS market.
