Yes I know a lot about LMAMS. And there is a better product and munition--the Switchblade has notoriously bad video leading to potential collateral damage problems. We are on as subcontractor on the flight control side of a proposal along with EWA and two other Ohio companies (all of us are subs taking different portions--we worked together on a Navy contract). NDA prevents me from naming prime but they did live presentation in Huntsville in mid-October. Still waiting but probably another case of AVINC continuing to get contracts with inferior products IMO. Interesting, huh? The platform IS the munition. Maybe we should help WSGI into this business, huh, Ren? Warm regards, IndyJonesOhio.

IMO this makes the purchase of such LALE/MALE HTA platforms unlikely for developing world militaries. But, anyone can do the calculations, an Argus with rough order of magnitude similar capabilities could crash and not even kill the cow it lands on. In Nigeria you probably get shot if you crash a $8M drone--hard to get volunteer pilots that way. Ren, this is immensely important regarding overseas Argus sales--a unique capability within the reach of second-tier militaries without the high cost of platform terminal crashes. Do you really get this? You may be the first one on the board who signaled me that you got it. Any reply would be appreciated. For overseas sales it may be the most important fact about the Argus IMO. VR, IndyJonesOhio.
