Area-I partnered with the NASA SBIR/STTR program to develop Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UASs) that supported advanced aeronautics research. The company’s developments with NASA culminated in the Prototype-Technology Evaluator and Research Aircraft (PTERA), a versatile UAS enabling low-risk flight experiments that are safer than piloted tests and more dynamic than wind tunnel testing. From the initial seed funding from NASA, Area-I continued to hone its abilities in UAS development, finding success with the Department of Defense and leading to the company’s acquisition by Anduril Industries—a $4.6 billion defense technology company—in 2021.
