Mr. Michael Burns reports

GLOBAL UAV, MAJOR TELECOM AND VINEVIEW PERFORM 4G SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE SURVEY AT JOST VINEYARDS

Global UAV Technologies Ltd. has completed a 4G drone technology proof-of-concept mission with Jost Vineyards, VineView -- Scientific Aerial Imaging Inc. and a major Canadian telecommunications partner.

Global UAV provided the 4G-enabled Procyon 800E helicopter drone platform and specialized imaging payload, pilots and engineering support for the project.

The mission demonstrated a real-word application of cutting-edge drone technology for the "Digital Vineyard of the Future" project. The mission provided valuable quantitative scientific data to the vineyard. Global UAV flew a 4G-enabled multispectral imaging survey over Jost Vineyards in Nova Scotia with a Procyon 800E helicopter, the company's proprietary drone that is designed, engineered and manufactured by Global UAV's subsidiary, NOVAerial Robotics Inc. A key factor and technical aspect of the mission was to demonstrate drone-enabled real-time data transfer capabilities over the 4G cellular network.

The project partners included one of Canada's largest telecommunications companies. Global UAV worked with VineView and the telecommunications partner to integrate the 4G technology onto the Procyon 800E UAV platform, fly the survey and transfer the data over the 4G network in real time during flight. VineView postprocessed and interpreted the multipectral imagery and produced diagnostic maps used by Jost Vineyards for crop uniformity optimization, irrigation management, harvest planning and plant health information.

By completing this project, Global UAV has established an additional business opportunity vertical it can access by providing high-value crop surveys, which can be managed within the existing business units of Global UAV.

The survey was flown over the Jost Vineyards in Malagash, N.S., part of the Devonian Coast Wineries group. Jost Vineyards will use the optimized data to determine plant health and harvest information as a part of the Digital Vineyard of the Future project on which all the above companies and partners are collaborating.

"This is a pivotal opportunity for Global UAV and emphasizes the broad exposure to major telecom partners that our innovation and 4G technology development efforts have landed. In addition, we are excited to reveal the new technology our company brings to the viticulture and agriculture industry. Collaboration with VineView, Jost Vineyards and the major telecom partner confirms Global UAV's emergence as an industry-leading drone technology company with wide technology applications across many industry verticals. The application of this technology demonstrates Global UAV's ability to deploy real-world solutions that can extend and accelerate our business opportunities," commented Michael Burns, chief executive officer, Global UAV Technologies.

"Fine winemaking is in the growing of grapes with specific qualities, where many variables have to be taken into consideration. We see these emerging technologies offering excellent opportunities for integrated measurement and management of our vineyards and focus on Precision Viticulture," stated Jonathan Rodwell, director of viticulture and winemaking, Jost Vineyards.
