Two more weeks to go, then hopefully can sell of the majority of my position. Will still hold a large enough position for when and if they succeed in expansion efforts.

Two more weeks to go, then hopefully can sell of the majority of my position. Will still hold a large enough position for when and if they succeed in expansion efforts. Are you thinking that the pps will rise on the day(s) of the Investor Day(s), or a few days after? I'm thinking that if there is any positive impact from this event in the share price that it won't happen right away. In general, I am thinking that the next bump we get is from the railroad side of things (900mhz commercial deployment news). I also think that it will take a few more deals like the recent one with Stockpile Reports, before the AR/drone program starts to have a major impact on the pps. Once the market believes that big companies will really adopt this technology, then this explodes, imo. |

OK, I think I may have stumbled onto something here. This has ONDS written all over it: www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/beyond/BEYONDBackground A Presidential Memorandum established the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration Pilot Program (IPP) on October 25, 2017. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) instituted it as a three-year program to enable state, local, and tribal governments, in collaboration with industry to advance more complex UAS operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). Under the IPP, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) executed Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) with 10 state, local, and tribal governments to conduct advanced UAS operations to advance safe and secure integration. One of those participants, the Lee County Mosquito Control District in Florida, withdrew from the program in early 2019.The nine IPP lead participants accomplished many achievements under the IPP, and the FAA shared the relevant data and lessons learned with the appropriate policymakers and regulatory teams within the FAA and DOT to inform regulations, policy, and guidance. The FAA concluded the IPP on October 25, 2020 as mandated by statute, and decided to continue the partnerships and progress it made under the IPP to continue to address remaining challenges.
BEYONDProgram Overview The FAA is tackling the remaining challenges of UAS integration through a new program called BEYOND. These challenge areas are:・Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations that are repeatable, scalable and economically viable with specific emphasis on infrastructure inspection, public operations and small package delivery.・Leveraging industry operations to better analyze and quantify the societal and economic benefits of UAS operations.・Focusing on community engagement efforts to collect, analyze and address community concerns.
The BEYOND program started on October 26, 2020 to continue the partnerships with eight of the nine IPP participants.The program will focus on operating under established rules rather than waivers, collecting data to develop performance-based standards, collecting and addressing community feedback and understanding the societal and community benefits, and to streamline the approval processes for UAS integration.--- This article gives a good summary: www.therobotreport.com/beyond-program-collaborate-drone-integration-us-airspace/BEYOND program to build collaborative framework for drone integration into U.S. airspace
...BEYOND builds on the Unmanned Aerial Systems Integration Pilot Program (UAS IPP), which was led by the U.S. Department of Transportation and managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). That three-year program, which ended on Oct. 25, brought together companies, research organizations, state and local governments, and federal agencies on teams focused on drone-integration projects.
The FAA said the BEYOND program is intended to help make beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations scalable and economically viable, better quantify the benefits of UAS operations, and engage the community to learn its concerns.
BEYOND plans to balance drone interests
Incorporating drones into organizations’ existing operations can offer a lengthy list of potential benefits, including more reliable power grids, faster search-and-rescue operations, and more efficient recovery from natural disasters. The aircraft also create opportunities for entirely new services, like drone delivery, that provide access to everyday essentials and invigorate local economies.
But drones are a relatively new technology entering a rigorously regulated industry. Creating a space for them effectively means balancing the interests of companies eager to apply their powerful capabilities, communities enthusiastic about potential benefits but sometimes apprehensive about unknown risks, and regulators and government agencies tasked with ensuring safety in a rapidly-evolving industry. What the IPP accomplished was to bring all these groups to the same table and create a framework for dialogue.
Virginia’s team seized the opportunity, focusing on infrastructure inspection, damage assessment after natural disasters, and drone delivery. Over the program’s three-year span, the team conducted advanced testing on the use of UAS for power-line inspection, a challenging application with potential rewards for safety, reliability, and efficiency,
It also obtained unique waivers that lay the groundwork for using drones as a valuable component of disaster response. In addition, the team launched the first commercial drone-delivery service in the country to ferry goods on demand directly to homes, a service that has proven its value during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our collaboration with the FAA and our partners as part of the original IPP program has been instrumental in highlighting Virginia’s status as an outstanding state for building a UAS business,” said Bob Stolle, CEO of the Center for Innovative Technology. “Those partnerships have helped catalyze strong working relationships among industry, our legislators, and executive branch agencies, such as the Virginia Department of Aviation and the Virginia Department of Transportation, to make Virginia a place where the UAS industry can grow and thrive, with regulation that helps facilitate economic development. We believe the BEYOND program will continue this outstanding evolution as we move to make routine commercial drone use a normal part of the Virginia landscape.”

More dot connecting. It looks like the law firm who oversaw the ONDAS/AR merger is deeply involved with the FAA, DOT, and the commercialization of "BVLOS" drones. It could just be coincidence since FAA regulation is this firm's bread and butter, but it could also very much be that both ONDAS and AR know how important this FAA Beyond Project could potentially be to them, and didn't want to leave any stones unturned: www.hoganlovells.com/en/patrick-rizziFor more than two decades, Pat Rizzi has represented and advised clients on legal and regulatory issues involving aviation. Pat focuses on aviation law, regulations, litigation, and transactions, and regularly represents clients before the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and other government agencies.
Pat has deep and extensive experience advising passenger and cargo airlines, airports, infrastructure and development companies, on-demand air taxi operators, operators and manufacturers of unmanned aircraft systems, aerospace manufacturers, banks, investment firms, repair stations, technology companies, and government agencies on international and domestic aviation regulatory, litigation, and transactional issues. He counsels clients on operations, safety, compliance, licensing, certification, airport access, and customer service regulations.Other areas of focus include international route rights, alliances, marketing arrangements, antitrust immunity, government investigations, airport privatization, and airline/aviation-related transactions and ownership changes. Pat also handles DOT/FAA enforcement proceedings, trial and appellate court litigation, FAA petitions for exemption, airspace obstruction matters, slots, federal grant assurances, and airport noise.---www.hoganlovells.com/en/news/hogan-lovells-advises-american-robotics-in-acquisition-by-ondas-holdingsHogan Lovells advises American Robotics in acquisition by Ondas Holdings
Northern Virginia and Washington D.C., 6 August 2021 – Global law firm Hogan Lovells has advised American Robotics, Inc., a leading developer of highly-automated commercial drone technology, in its strategic acquisition by proprietary, software-based wireless broadband technology developer Ondas Holdings, Inc. The deal was initially announced in May and closed 5 August.
American Robotics brings numerous benefits in this deal. It offers best-in-class IP, its unique Scout ™ UAS that uses AI and enables unprecedented access to actionable aerial intelligence, and its historic Federal Aviation Administration approvals, which include the first ever approval to operate drones beyond-visual-line-of-sight (“BVLOS”) with no humans on-site.
American Robotics is a long time client of Hogan Lovells and the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) practice led by Lisa Ellman.
The Hogan Lovells team advising the acquisition was led by M&A partners Randy Segal, Gabrielle Witt and counsel Ashlee Sawyer Gilson, with key support from partners Lisa Ellman, Carin Carithers, and Kevin Greenslade, senior associate David Russo, associate Hamza Rashid, as well as partner Patrick Rizzi and senior associate Matthew Clark. Partner George Ingham, senior counsel Daniel Davidson, and senior associate Tony Brown also assisted on the deal.
--- www.hoganlovells.com/en/publications/faa-establishes-uas-beyond-visual-line-of-sight-operations-aviation-rulemaking-committeeFAA establishes UAS Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations Aviation Rulemaking CommitteeWhile technology has progressed quickly, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) policymaking has lagged behind. Commercial drones efficiently and safely inspect our nation’s infrastructure, deliver medical and other supplies, and enable social distancing while accomplishing important tasks. However, even though Congress mandated that the federal government develop a plan to integrate UAS into the national airspace system (NAS) almost ten years ago, commercial drone operations beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) of the operator are still not broadly authorized in the United States. The inability to operate UAS BVLOS of the operator forecloses many of the most promising and beneficial UAS use-cases that can benefit all Americans. |

I know that I checked out AR's career page before and saw that they had positions open, but nineteen full time positions currently available? I don't recall that many.
Ondas, OTOH, has five openings.
