ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC) ("Unusual Machines" or the "Company"), a drone and drone components manufacturer, today announced that its Rotor Riot Brave F7 Flight Controller has been approved for inclusion on the Blue UAS Framework list. This significant milestone underscores Unusual Machines' commitment to providing secure, reliable, and domestically manufactured drone components for the U.S. government and other critical sectors.
"We are thrilled to have the Rotor Riot Brave F7 Flight Controller approved for the Blue UAS Framework," said Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines. "This certification reinforces our mission to support the American drone industry with high-quality, domestically manufactured components. We know procurement can be a challenge and see the DIU and the Blue process as the best way to facilitate the Department of Defense (DoD) in using FPV drones."
The Blue UAS Framework (link: https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas) , an initiative by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), sets rigorous standards for cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, and operational requirements. This is done to ensure that certified unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are trusted and secure. In order to be added to the Blue UAS Framework, a department of defense (DoD) sponsor needs to advocate for the product, and it has to represent a new capability. The audit and approval of the Brave F7 Flight Controller is a testament to the foresight of the Marine Core Warfighter Lab and enables several simplified acquisition pathways for all government customers.
"A low-cost FPV UAS technology added to the DIU Blue list offers a significant advancement in our capability to deploy secure, reliable, and domestically manufactured unmanned systems," said Major Steven "Spike" Atkinson of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory. "It provides a scalable solution that ensures we can keep pace with our adversaries while enhancing operational effectiveness and security for our warfighters."
The Rotor Riot Brave F7 Flight Controller is manufactured in compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which emphasizes reducing reliance on foreign technologies and enhancing domestic manufacturing capabilities. It is the first US-made flight controller on the Blue UAS Framework list specifically designed for high-performance FPV flight. This flight controller represents a significant step forward in the company's ongoing efforts to expand its presence as a domestic drone parts manufacturer.
