AUVSI Hampton Roads
"AUVSI Hampton Roads promotes unmanned systems through an interactive environment with local businesses, educational institutions, and professional societies and by the use of innovative methods and ideas."
🚀Big things are happening at Eastern Shore Community College (ESCC)!
Thanks to a generous $1.8 million donation of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) equipment—including 2 fixed-wing aircraft, a mobile ground control station, and advanced electronics—ESCC is expanding its leadership in UAS education and innovation.
With over 100 students trained through FAA Part 107 courses and strong industry partnerships with Sentinel Robotic Solutions, Summit Aviation, and more, ESCC is building a future-ready workforce. The new gear, now housed at Accomack County Airport, will power programs in agriculture, rural medical delivery, aerospace, and more.
This investment accelerates ESCC’s mission to support rural tech, research, and career development through cutting-edge training and hands-on learning.

🚁 Innovation takes flight! ow.ly/Seu150WlFkL has been awarded a $1.9M SBIR contract from the U.S. Army DEVCOM AvMC at Fort Eustis, VA to advance hybrid-electric propulsion systems for next-gen aircraft.
Their EL2 Ultra-STOL prototype already demonstrated takeoffs in under 150 ft on rugged terrain. Now, the EL9 is set to deliver quiet mobility, mobile power, and unmatched agility for military logistics—without sacrificing the range and safety of a fixed-wing aircraft.
This 18-month partnership brings together flight tests, simulations, and operational modeling to explore how hybrid-electric aircraft can redefine Army Aviation.
Electra’s pioneering work is paving the way for real-world applications of clean-sheet hybrid-electric tech. ✈️⚡
