3. Altus Intelligence is a leader in the unmanned aerial solutions space with a proven track record, experience across a wide range of applications and a history of development within the commercial UAS industry. We began our story as a services provider but now concentrate on manufacturing and delivery. As a total solution provider we have an end to end philosophy that integrates directly into organisations, providing them with access to data within their own management structure, collected by safer, timelier and more cost effective means. Altus still makes the best commercial equipment built for purpose with unparalleled safety features onboard, but also provides customers with a total solution for their respective businesses. These solutions encompass every aspect of commercial UAV operation, from management and tasking, to training, operations, data processing and delivery. With the benefit of their experience in the commercial UAV sector Altus has both the expertise and the methodologies to embed comprehensive and capable aerial solutions for companies within a range of vertical industries.
4. Our technology is backed by patents and industry leading triple redundant safety features. This was evidenced by the selection of our platform by global news giant CNN. As New Zealand has proven to be the perfect R&D environment, we have developed and refined our aerial systems and are currently deploying the next evolution with the advent of Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) operations and hybrid vehicle systems. Altus UAS is already a recognisable and respected brand in the U.S. and we occupy a unique position with our FAA Pathfinder status as preferred supplier to CNN. Our expertise in this industry and vision for the application of UAV technology has provided us with an advantage over many competitors both at home and abroad. Altus is headquartered in New Zealand. The Altus New Zealand team alone has over 65 years of combined UAS experience in design, manufacture and operation of commercial unmanned systems. Key partnerships in Asia and Europe have seen the strength and success of the Altus brand continue to grow. Assembly is now carried out in each of these markets as well as the USA and New Zealand.
