UAV
Corp. to Present Critical Inflation Test in 30 Days, Paving the Way
to Secure Over $525 Million in DART Series Sales
Contracts
Demonstration Near
Term in Revolutionary Airship Technology Amid Growing Global
Demand
WEWAHITCHKA, FL -- March 14, 2025 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- UAV Corp. (OTC:
UMAV), a pioneer in manned and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
technologies, announces an updated timeline for the pivotal
inflation test of its DART Series airship. Originally scheduled for
the end of Q1, the test is now targeted for April as key personnel
work through the final phases of their visa approval for re-entry
into the U.S. While this adjustment shifts our timeline slightly,
it ensures that all critical team members are in place for a
successful demonstration. Conducted by subsidiary Skyborne
Technology, Inc. at its Gulf County, Florida facilities, this test
remains a key milestone toward ensuring flight readiness and
advancing over an initial $525 million in pending sales
contracts.
The inflation test will showcase the
structural integrity and buoyancy of the DART Series envelope, a
critical step toward upcoming flight tests that underpin the
company's contractual commitments. With Letters of Intent (LOIs)
already secured—including a $420 million agreement for multiple
DART 600 Series mid-altitude drone airships and a $105 million deal
for three DART Series systems—UAV Corp is leveraging this
presentation to convert strong market interest into firm orders.
The company's advanced version two airships will feature
carbon-fiber structures, hybrid hydrogen fuel cell propulsion,
detachable airship drone from tether operations and additional
capabilities, are poised to meet global demands in agriculture,
border security, disaster relief, and communications.
"This inflation test presentation is
a defining moment for UAV Corp as we work to secure over $525
million in initial pending sales contracts," said Michael Lawson,
CEO of UAV Corp. "By demonstrating the DART Series' readiness,
we're not only proving our technological edge but also reinforcing
the state-of-the-art technology with our global partners. With
negotiations for additional contracts potentially exceeding $1.5
billion, this milestone brings us closer to transforming the aerial
solutions market."
The event will feature the inflation
of the DART SA70-12 airship, a semi-rigid model with enhanced
station-keeping and automated recovery systems. Representatives
from prospective buyers, including a consortium tied to the $525
million LOI's, are expected to attend, with successful outcomes
anticipated to trigger significant down payments and contract
finalizations. Initial deliveries for these systems are slated for
late 2026, supported by production at UAV Corp's Wewahitchka
facility and the forthcoming "SKY" Hangar at Costin Airport, set to
break ground in Q1 or early Q2 2025.
UAV Corp's DART Series is uniquely
positioned in the $36 billion global UAV market, projected to grow
at a 16.5% CAGR through 2037. This inflation test builds on prior
successes of the DART SA-70 and successful flight tests of the AFWX
electric drone DART prototype 600 series airship and underscores
the company's commitment to innovation and reliability. Further
updates on the flight tests, flight operations, and contract
progress will be shared as milestones are achieved.
