Dragonfly Pictures, Inc. (DPI) has developed and
produced tactical autonomous rotorcraft since 1992 for commercial
and military customers. All of its products take-off vertically,
deploy in under 5 minutes, with two operators, can operate in the
near-earth environment, don’t require pilot-in-the-loop-skills, fit
in common transports (e.g., pick-up truck), and are built to aerospace
and NATO standards. DPI specializes in tandem and tail-sitter aircraft.
DPI’s customers include SOCOM, DARPA, Navy, Army, Air Force, Northrop,
BAE Systems, and Boeing. DPI has a team of 23 professionals, including
rotorcraft, autonomy, vision, software, robotics, avionics, and production
engineers. DPI seeks to hire engineers with exceptional abilities
to execute. DPI urges the students competing in the IARC 2010 to
continue to pioneer the automation of rotorcraft. DPI encourages
IARC alumnae to send their resumes to GregoryPiasecki@DragonflyPictures.com.
DPI is located in Philadelphia, PA, the birthplace of US rotary-wing
aviation. |
