COMPANY OVERVIEW
Geneva Aerospace was founded in
1997 with a passion for flight technologies. Funded by the Air
Force Research Lab, the company's first project was a study of
simplified control concepts for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
From this initial research, Geneva has developed a portfolio
of industry-leading unmanned vehicle command, control and communication
technologies.
The company was founded by experienced senior-level executives, rocket scientists,
missile guidance experts and aerospace engineers who understand the challenges
and opportunities of UAVs. They saw that most UAV technology lacked precision
control of the vehicle and the "intelligence" of the system was often
poorly integrated with the airframe and payload which limited the effectiveness
of the system to the end-user. From the beginning, Geneva's executive team wanted
to give military and commercial customers:
- Sophisticated variable autonomy system solutions for command,
control and communications of UAVs
- More cost-effective solutions
- Faster development cycles
- Superior precision
- Extreme flexibility to work with any UAV airframe
- Tightly integrated capabilities
To accomplish these goals, Geneva has assembled a management
team with extensive experience in the following industries:
- Defense electronics
- Defense weapon systems
- Commercial electronics manufacturing
- Telecommunications
- Commercial aviation
- Network security
This broad base of knowledge helps Geneva address the full range
of challenges posed by defense and commercial UAV programs. In
addition, by adding guidance systems experience to the equation,
the company offers a higher degree of precision than any other
firm in the marketplace. The company also leverages its strong
relationships with Capitol Hill decision-makers to help move
critical military projects forward.
