Overview
AeroVironment (AV) gives soldiers a birds-eye view of their mission. The company designs and manufactures a line of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for the Department of Defense.

Through its Efficient Energy Systems unit, AV produces PosiCharge fast-charge systems for industrial equipment batteries and electric vehicles (EV) as well as EV testing systems used by auto, defense, and utility markets. Adding to its efficient solutions, AV makes green energy systems, like small wind turbines, for commercial buildings.
