WHAT SETS US APART
AirCover’s lead product, the QR425 QuadRotor (see video above), enjoys competitive distinction by being one of the very few products that has received FAA approval for operations within the National Airspace. Complementing this favorable endorsement by the FAA, in early 2014 AirCover completed the rigorous “RAPS” evaluation program, a comprehensive and intensive examination of UAS and UAV products conducted by the US Air Force on behalf of all branches of the military and the Department of Homeland Security.
The AirCover QR425 QuadRotor platform performed very well in all aspects with accolades by the examiners for numerous features and capabilities. A confidential report covering our performance at RAPS was released to the DOD and DHS for widespread consideration.

AirCover has intently focused on developing the QR425 and its sister products under processes and procedures that are intimately familiar to the FAA and their international counterparts. By investing in complete quality assurance and manufacturing programs, our resulting FAA approvals now serve as significant competitive differentiators when we engage international customers and prospects. Moreover, by adopting a virtually hack-proof encrypted command and control system, the AirCover product offering operates in a completely separate and preferred realm of security, appealing to those customers demanding commercial-grade UAS systems with the highest levels of safety and reliability.
AirCover is manufacturing and selling these systems today.
INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE AND GROWTH PLAN
AirCover has invested in obtaining necessary export approvals for its lead product, the QR425 Quad Rotor, from the U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Department of State, specifically clearance under the requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This clearance, along with an enabling product-specific Carnet, which is the equivalent of a passport for the product, permits AirCover and its agents to conveniently transport the QR425 product for either commercial sale or for purpose of a non-transactional demonstration, respectively.
Because of the protracted delay by the FAA in issuing rules and guidelines for the broad commercial use of UAV systems in the United Sates airspace, AirCover is keenly focused on demand for mature UAS systems in international markets where interest and receptiveness to UAVs is soaring and their diverse industrial application is attractive. Leveraging our success with the FAA, AirCover has engaged in consultative selling with leading commercial and government entities in Africa, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico addressing customer applications in precision agriculture, state security, critical infrastructure inspection and maintenance, and natural resources development.
One of the priority Uses of Proceeds of our funding campaign is expansion of our team of trained subject matter experts to develop repeatable business in international markets, focusing on incremental sales in high volume segments.
