Pierce Aerospace Partners with Prudent American Technologies to Win US Navy Contract, Expand Manufacturing

Pierce Aerospace, developer of state-of-the-art drone Remote ID technology for civilian and military uses, has announced the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities through a partnership with Prudent American Technologies, a premier USA-based contract manufacturer of highly engineered injection molded plastics and precision machined products. The relationship expands Pierce Aerospace’s manufacturing capabilities and increases Prudent American’s IoT development capabilities. The team, lead by Prudent American and including Guardian Systems, a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), was recently awarded a US Navy Seaport-NxG contract which gives the firms access to bid on Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) contracts, covering 23 functional areas with procurement in excess of half a billion dollars annually.

Through the partnership, Pierce Aerospace expands its capabilities to build and deliver dual-use Remote ID and Combat ID products with Prudent American’s 70 years of manufacturing experience and 100,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities in Lexington, Kentucky and Decatur, Alabama. Prudent American expands their IoT capabilities via Pierce Aerospace’s background in IoT development, standards, system integration, and dual-use product innovation.

“Our recent award of the US Navy Seaport-NxG contract provides the US Navy and US Marine Corps with a unique team to support next generation Battlefield of IoT solutions through the combination of Pierce Aerospace’s IoT development and Prudent American’s proven practices in rapid and lean manufacturing,” said Aaron Pierce, CEO, Pierce Aerospace. “This combination provides the US Navy with a winning set of agile capabilities.”

“IoT and big data are transforming modern warfare as organizations gather information through a variety of platforms, from aircraft and UAVs to weapon systems and ground transportation,” said Michael Poovey, Director of Sales, Prudent American Technologies. “Bringing these systems to market requires sophisticated technology, complex designs, and rapid production of highly engineered injection molded plastics and precision machined products. The team of Pierce Aerospace, Guardian Systems, and Prudent American has been created to deliver the high quality, made-in-the-USA solutions that are needed to explore new opportunities, mitigate threats, and respond to dangerous situations.”

"As a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, we see a bright future with incredible opportunity by partnering with Pierce Aerospace and Prudent American Technologies, allowing us to better serve our military customers,” said Wil Busby, CEO, Guardian Systems, LLC.
