Draganflyer X6 UAV Will be Featured at AUVSI 2009 August 10-12

Our UAV, the Draganflyer X6 will be featured at AUVSI 2009, the worlds largest conference on the latest UAV industry developments. The annual AUVSI conference features UAV industry leaders from around the world, and is held annually at the Wasington Convention Center. This years event promises to have record attendance, with over 76 formal presentations by UAV industry leaders and government organizations.

The AUVSI (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International) was formed in 1972 when the use of unmanned target drones in the Vietnam War prompted the creation of the National Association of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (NARPV). NARPV eventually grew as the industry expanded, leading to the creation of the modern AUVSI organization. The AUVSI is dedicated to promoting the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) through education, communication, and leadership.

AUVSI 2009 will be featuring an exhibit from Draganfly Innovations Inc. Our booth number is 856, and can be found on the floor plan. The conference starts on August 10, and ends on August 13 2009. The main exhibit hall is open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on August 11, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on August 12, and 8:00 am to 2:00 pm on August 13. As always, we will be happy to answer any questions that attendees may have about our UAV products and will be showing our UAV in action, flying indoors. As we are flying indoors, we will not be able to demonstrate the GPS hold capability, but we will still demonstrate the Draganflyer X6’s many other features.
