This is expected to boost both equipment sales and introduce recurring service revenue from managed services from the Remote Operations Center.

Strategic Highlights of the Aerieport Integration:

• Fully Managed Service Offering: The Aerieport will be operated as a managed service from DDC's Remote Operations Center, ensuring a comprehensive drone operation service for clients.
• Advanced Operational Capabilities: The center will facilitate extensive drone operations tailored to meet the demands of clients worldwide.

Key Features of the Aerieport include:

• Drone-agnostic design allowing flexibility in drone operations.
• Option for solar power for sustainable and autonomous operations.
• Capable of operating in extreme temperatures.
• Fully weatherproof with an integrated optical detect and avoid system.
• Equipped with a robust 4-sim, 5G modem with satcom option for independent communications.
