History

Alpha Unmanned Systems was founded in early 2014 as a spin-off of UAV Navigation which developed the Sniper Helicopter Platform. In 2014, the company decided to be focused on software development, leaving the platform's license to Alpha Unmanned Systems.

Since then, the company is led by Eric Freeman and Alvaro Escarpenter. The company offers solutions such as a completely integrated Ground Control Station (GCS), communications, control software and different accessories tailored depending on the requirements.
