1-AT has started manufacturing a small 6-foot long helicopter system for UAV-unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance, homeland security, border patrol, advance convoy protection, and disaster recovery.

Patriot Antenna Systems has recently announced 2 new companies that have been created in an effort to stay diversified and to exploit the growth of both the alternative energy market as well as the UAV-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle markets. Patriot Solar Group and 1-Advanced Technologies, has given Patriot the ability to grow from less than 90 people in 2005 to more than 165 today. This number is expected to increase 50% by the end of 2006 as each of these companies has expanded rapidly over the past 12 months. Being involved in the fast paced alternative energy field has really given our organization the diversity to grow in a field that is completely different but at the same time allows us to manufacture a very similar product to our core antenna production in the Solar Arena. The same is true in 1-Advanced Technology as we have been able to take a proven product and bring it into a high production facility which enables us to manufacture a high volume of these UAV’s in a very controlled and quality-orientated manner.

Each Helicopter system is capable of taking real-time broadcast quality video from as low as 20-feet to beyond 10,000-feet. The system has night vision and thermal imaging and can be best utilized flying fully autonomously along the borders, surveillance of pipelines, power lines and allowing the military or security forces to be able to see over the next ridge or get into urban areas and see the landscape or where an enemy might be hiding, all at speeds of up to 75 mph.
