Top 12 Companies in UAV Market

1. The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)
Boeing has had a hand in the drone
market for a number of years, mostly
developing for the U.S. military. They
have more recently been testing the
hydrogen-powered Phantom Eye drone,
which Boeing says can stay at 65,000 feet
for up to four days without refueling.
The company, led by W. James McNerney,
Jr., had revenues of $81.7 billion in 2012
and looks set to smash through that when
2013 results are announced later this
year.

2. General Atomics
The San-Diego based company is credited
with building the Predator drone, the
much-feared aircraft that saw action way
back during the Balkans war, where the
Americans lost two. Since then its been
deployed in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq,
Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Iran and the
Philippines. Last year, the company signed
a deal to supply $197 million worth of
drones to the United Arab Emirates. In
2012, the company brought in more than
$652 million in revenues.
3. Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT)
Like Boeing, Lockheed is testing a drone
-- the Stalker --that can stay in the air
for days at a time. In 2012, the company
brought in revenues of $47.2 billion.
4. Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC)
Founded only in 1994, Northrop has
quickly risen to become one of the top
suppliers of military hardware in the
world. In 2012, the company sold $1.2
billion worth of drones to South Korea,
but revenue has dropped to $25.1 billion
in 2012 from $34 billion in 2011.
5. AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV)
AeroVironment is the company
responsible for the Hummingbird drone
ordered by the Pentagon. But the
incredibly accurate little drone is capable
of far more than just looking good. It has
a tiny camera that can follow your every
move. According to CEO Timothy Conver,
revenue is expected to drop to $230
million in the upcoming fiscal year.
6. Prox Dynamics AS
The Norway-based company is really only
famous for one product, but what a
product it has become. They developed
the Black Hornet Nano, a tiny hand-held
helicopter that can help soldiers survey
enemy areas quickly. It can fly at its top
speed for up to 30 minutes at a time and
cost the British Army $31 million to equip
its various regiments with the drone.
7. Denel Dynamics
South Africa isnt well known for its
drones, but government-owned Denel has
seen sales of its drones increase by 20
percent in 2013 because of the increased
demand, according to the company, in the
Middle East, East Asia and Africa.
8. SAIC
The company brought in $2.87 billion in
revenue in 2012, up 3 percent from last
year. Their specialty is building
underwater drones for the Pentagon to
defend against submarines.
9. Israel Aerospace Industries
IAI was pioneering drone use as far back
as the 1970s, but the recent explosion in
demand is making the company a real
force in Israel and abroad. Revenues in
2011 were $3.44 billion.
10. Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT)
Appetite for military drones has pushed
the companys revenues toward nearly
$13 billion. Their drones have proven so
successful that the company has
committed to building unmanned
underwater vehicles.
11. General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE:GD)
The company reported a $2 billion loss in
January 2013, citing defense cuts. The
company also happens to be one of the
major donors to the Congressional
Unmanned Systems Caucus, known as the
drone caucus.
12. DJI
The DJI Phantom is the drone of choice
for filmmakers and is reported to be the
most complete commercial drone on the
market. The company has started pouring
much of its resources into the U.S.
market, betting that the FAA will relax
rules in 2015.

IRIS+ boasted several easy-to-use fully autonomous features, most notably the first true Follow Me technology in the drone industry.
Follow Me allows you to go hands-free: 3DR drones can stay right with you wherever you go, automatically keeping the camera
centered on you to capture your every move. Now other companies were following 3DRs every move: We continued to lead the way for
commercial applications, partnering with Intel to develop that companys Edison microprocessor, which provides the kind of
additional computing power that will enable drones to do more things for more people in more industries.
By 2011 3DR had made $5 million in revenue (DIY)
'Geofence' - before taking off you set boundaries and if drone flys into that boundary it returns to its launch point
Mission Planning - if you have a destination in mind, ou can opt for an autopilot mission. (point A to point B)
$99 million in 4 rounds from 13 investors
Ground Control Center - using an Android environment, the IRIS lets you stream live flight-data to your device on the ground
