UAV Pro, Inc. is a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business with headquarters located at Ft. Pickett, Virginia, approximately 40 miles southwest of Richmond. UAV Pro experience with development and production of unmanned systems results in products delivered to market sooner and at lower cost. The principals’ extensive network of contacts and tenure within the close-knit unmanned technology arena offer an invaluable resource with which to rapidly identify and source solutions to many unmanned system development challenges. The company’s access to Ft. Pickett’s restricted air space provides a safe, legal environment to operate UAS. A key part of UAV Pro’s business is assisting companies with their test, development, and training activities by enabling their use of Fort Pickett’s restricted airspace. UAV Pro is also developer of the “Mini-ROVER”, a lightweight, portable multi-band receiver which displays imagery from a wide variety of airborne reconnaissance sensors (manned and unmanned) to enhance situational awareness and offer a common operating picture. Since mid-2008, UAV Pro has delivered nearly 300 of its “Mini-ROVERs” to an ever-widening user base that includes Forward Air Controllers (FACs) and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs). A growing number of MVR users are coalition partners currently operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. UAV Pro is committed to continuing its role in the expansion of the unmanned systems industry, and to further expanding the company’s position as a responsible, up-and-coming business entity in the immediate Fort Pickett and Blackstone area, by providing jobs, technical expertise, and contributing to the Virginia Southside region’s community and economic development.
