September is “OEM Leaders” month on the Dawn of Autonomy podcast and we’re kicking it off with our sponsor, Sagetech Avionics. This episode features Tom Furey, CEO of Sagetech Avionics, who has led the company since its launch in late 2019 following a carve-out of the avionics division of Sagetech Corporation.

Sagetech Avionics is on a mission to deliver low-SWaP certified avionics solutions that enable safe airspace integration and protect warfighters. Recently, they partnered with MatrixSpace to win an HSWERX award from the Department of Homeland Security for their work in advanced air detection for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations.
