June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Drone Aviation Holding Corp. (OTCQB: DRNE), a developer of
specialized lighter-than-air aerostats and tethered drones, today
announced that it has appointed Reginald ("Reggie") L. Brown, Jr.
to the newly created position of Government Affairs Liaison, who
will focus on expanding a customer base in federal, state and local
government. Mr. Brown's career spans more than 35 years in
high-level executive sales, marketing, management, information
technology and business consulting across the public sector.
Brown's diverse business experience includes serving as vice
president of U.S. solution sales for Oracle Corporation and
Director of Federal Global Operations and Government Affairs,
Integrated Systems, for Xerox Corporation as well as serving as
Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense when he was appointed

"Having worked alongside Reggie for many years, I witnessed him

technology and I'm confident that he is the right executive to help
bring our unique tethered drone and aerostat systems to the next

meeting the executive team and experiencing the technology first
hand, I am confident we can capitalize on the large opportunity for
the company's WATT and WASP tethered aerial monitoring and

of applications in the commercial sector. I believe these sectors
will find tremendous value in our unique tethered systems and
benefit from their safer, longer duration and more data-secure
flight operations."
