Sample Leading Commercial UAS Company Profile–3D Robotics

3D Robotics (3DR) specializes in producing ArduPilot autopilot systems for high performance control of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles. However, they also manufacture ready-to-fly multi-rotor UASs. The company has been actively engaging the media and general public to present the commercial value of UASs.

Competitive advantages

• High quality at affordable prices

• ArduPilot software is open source and can be tailored by the user to his or her specifications without needing a user license

4

• Most ready-to-fly platforms can lose a motor and still provide stable operation

• Sold over $5 million worth of UASs in 2012

Developmental

• Created the industry’s leading open UAV platform, APM, and is extending that to the next generation of autopilots, software and ready-to-fly multi-rotor and fixed-wing UAVs

• UASs can be controlled from a PC or Android devices

• Manufacturing takes place in Mexico

• Production costs lower as a result of cost-competitive, skilled labor

• Company claims to have price parity with Chinese manufacturing options
