Altaeros

We are proud to announce that we achieved 98% up-time, operating 24/7 during the duration of the Technology Readiness Experimentation T-REX 24-2 exercise. This prestigious event was sponsored by the United States Department of Defense (DOD), Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)), and Indiana National Guard. We provided an ST-Flex aerostat and demonstrated autonomous features and benefits such as launch, recovery, and active flight controls while showcasing a multifunctional payload including IMSAR’s NSP-7 Aerostat Radar, Silvus Technologies’ Streamcaster SC4400E 4×4 MIMO radio, and Trillium Engineering’s HD80 EO/IR sensor.

Altaeros is excited to announce that Peter Mitton, formerly our Director of Customer Solutions, has just been promoted to Vice President of Operations! Pete has been with us for almost ten years, and in that time, has worn many hats. He is an integral member of our Business Development team, and IT Department as well as overseeing and organizing our departmental operations. When he isn’t working, Pete can be found camping, traveling, or wandering museums with his family. “I have never had as many responsibilities and opportunities to learn as I’ve had with Altaeros. I came into this company as an engineer, mainly a software engineer, but Altaeros has allowed me to branch way beyond that, and give me opportunities to join business and project management teams. I’ve been a lot of places and I’ve met a lot of interesting people, and I’ve had a lot of opportunities to grow at Altaeros.” Congratulations on the well earned promotion Pete! We are very lucky to have you!
