An American start up company from Arizona continues to grow and make the right connections with an interesting circular winged platform. Chris Mc Nair from AttoPilot sent us news of a very successful AUVSI 2011.
AttoPilot International (API)  have teamed up with AeroBat Aviation in a cooperative partnership to produce high quality low cost sUAS and RPA systems. API is working with multiple groups in the maritime field on a low cost, water proof aircraft capable of up to 3hrs flight time with deep stall capabilities.

The aircraft will land in the water and arresting net with the ability be recovered in a number of manors.  In addition to the advancement in technology, API is working with composite aircraft manufactures  bringing the aircraft up to military specifications.
Four items that are special to API and its recently acquired relationships is the shared distribution rights to Next Computing systems GCS command modules and computers.
Newly gimbaled and zoomable camera system with active stabilization designed in Israel
Micro ADS-B system to help integrate sUAS/RPA aircraft into the NAS.
In addition to the above is a cooperative effort to integrate AttoPilot into the DreamHammer advanced defense systems GCS.
We believe with our recent acquired relationships we will have the ability to supply very high quality and user configurable systems to our customers.
