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 (DoD).

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. The US Army and other US government agencies generate more than 80% of sales.
