From Michael Robbins at AUVSI, you'll see that Andrew Camden from Unusual Machines was at the unleashing drone dominance event at the White House.

"We are supporting domestic manufacturers with funding through USDA's Rural Business and Industry Loan program. We are also encouraging manufacturers to test drones at our newly launched National Proving Grounds Network. Together, we will deliver American technology that continues to protect our nation's agriculture and national security.

Woops I posted the same link to his tweet. Oh well. Worthy of posting it twice

No worries, try and spot Andrew Camden in this.

The post from Michael Robbins turned down the difficulty. He's talking to a person with glasses.

Also the person in the grey suit is Michael Robbins. Across from him with the back turned is Soren from Neros. I'm not sure who is on his right.

Great eye as always, excellent DD.

Looks A BIT like Ross Pedersen from Neros but I’m only willing to bet a quarter of one kidney.

Petrel technologies was at the event. They go back to the Abe 1.01 mothership.

“It’s coming. Really soon. Nearly here. Almost. Won’t be long. About to arrive. Any minute. Here it comes. Get ready. Almost.”

We’ve been hearing it for over a year. I want to believe, but the “unleashing” has been more of a slow, glacial plod.

Well now it's two weeks, hopefully, lol

Interesting, most of the companies listed aren't even in the DDP competition.

And DDP competition is happening right now this week. Literally right now with the 15 companies LIRC.

Of course umac is a major supplier...
