Company History
Airware is an up and coming company that was founded back in 2011. The company was started as a means to solve the problems existing with inflexible third party UAS (Unmanned aerial systems) autopilots. The company was founded by a gentleman named Jonathan Downey. Airware created a comprehensive operating system for commercial drones, the Aerial Information Platform. This platform was built by a very diverse team of experts in the fields of robotics, aerospace, software, geospatial, hardware, and cloud services.
The company focused on capturing a specific market by specializing in the development of a platform for autopilots that advanced the capabilities of UAS systems to educators, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts. For example, the os-Series autopilots allow users to create unique unmanned aerial systems with specific applications and still maintain unique and intellectual properties. The os-Series autopilots combined an embedded Linux computer, open architectural software, and modular hardware under a license that is royalty free and accommodates all different type of aircrafts.
The company identified a strong need in the drone technology market back in 2011 and continues to provide superior products to customers today. Their commercial drones are able to provide a fast, accurate, and repetitive means of collecting data. This makes it possible for compliance requirements to be met, keep employees safe, and speed up the decision making processes. This has been especially helpful with military technology.
