OUR STORY

From Battlefield to Boardroom.  

In 2008 Dan Hubert was in charge of a $550M Aviation Enterprise Helicopter and Drone upgrade program.  In the middle of this project he was called to work for special forces to develop the next generation medium range UAS operations and data collection procedures.  By 2010 Dan transformed 12 UAS units from having an accident a week to ZERO accidents in over 10,000 flight hours.  He used standardization and established protocols to advance just-in-time information to troop in contact in addition to construction and engineering units across the Middle East.  Dan quickly came to realize this technology was critical for doing good.  He later became a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper Program Manager and further promoted remote sensing information technologies.  Dan has now worked for over 15 years to advance data from drones to tackle business and the worlds more challenging problems.
