FORT WORTH, Texas — Aero Kinetics has partnered with GridMeNow to incorporate its mobile, real-time tracking solutions into Aero Kinetics’ newest multi-rotor vertical takeoff and land (VTOL) remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), also known as drones and unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
“We will essentially become the Uber of unmanned systems where UAS can be dispatched by mobile phone directly to your location,” explains W. Hulsey Smith, CEO of Aero Kinetics. “If you need aerial footage/support or medical supplies delivered to a remote location, GridMeNow will provide those capabilities.”
By integrating GridMeNow’s mobile solutions into unmanned aircraft, Aero Kinetics enables customers to call RPAs to their location using their mobile phone, company officials note.
“Partnering with Aero Kinetics creates the first ever, on-demand UAS mobile ecosystem,” said Adam Tolk, Chief Executive Officer, GridMeNow.
