To provide private and public sector organizations with full-service drone training, DroneUp has acquired AeroVista Innovations LLC (AVI).

DroneUp’s acquisition includes AVI’s assets, employees, and customer contracts. It will also transition merged business operations into the DroneUp brand as The DroneUp Training Academy. 

“DroneUp is looking forward to the expansion through this acquisition. Bringing AVI into DroneUp allows us to extend our capabilities to create valuable solutions for our customers. We have an exceptional network of pilots and an experienced team of leaders,” says Tom Walker, founder & CEO of DroneUp.

“Our training division allows us to enhance the skills of our pilots who fly complex missions for our customers and to assist our clients in problem-solving internal and off-site issues impacting safe and complete drone solutions.”

Founded in 2016, AeroVista Innovations helps public agencies and corporations in their drone training, consulting, and sourcing projects by providing training, in-house drone program implementation, and FAA regulatory compliance consultation. Whenever working with members of the UAS industry, AeroVista Innovations helps provide a “market-leading proposition,” and ensures complete drone solution programs that minimize risk and maximize safety and results.

Brenden Stewart, Training Director, and Melanie Harris, Sales Director, will continue to lead the DroneUp Training Academy, as they look to continue furthering momentum to offer training and equipment purchases implementing one-stop drone solutions.

“We are thrilled to integrate our operations into DroneUp’s global business model and combine our industry knowledge to accelerate turn-key solutions for drone program adoption with both public sector and enterprise organizations,” says Brendan Stewart, president of AeroVista Innovations.

“AVI’s value is rooted in consulting, integrating, and training in-house operations for sectors such as emergency management and law enforcement, offering DroneUp the ability to further serve these markets through its NASPO ValuePoint Multi-State Contract.”
