Our team at Platform Aerospace, represented by Jaime Andrews and Blayre Vallandingham, had an incredible time at the Liberty University School of Aeronautics Career Fair, this past Tuesday. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with accomplished students from different programs and witness firsthand their enthusiasm for aviation maintenance and unmanned systems. From intuitive questions to impassioned conversations about our World record holding, 8-day flying Vanilla UAS! We are grateful for the students' time and their excitement for Aeronautics and our mission. With these students' help the industry will become more advanced. We wish them the best of luck with their future endeavors, that hopefully include Platform Aerospace one day! A huge thank you to the wonderful team at LU School of Aeronautics for hosting an exceptional career fair! Looking forward to future collaborations and continued success! #UAS #UAV #PlatformAerospace #VanillaUAV #VanillaUAS #aerospace #AviationCareers

We love investing in our collective future! Thank you, St. Mary's County Department of Economic Development for supporting Southern Maryland!
Inspiring the Next Generation of Local Innovators This year, the St. Mary's County Department of Economic Development partnered with Forrest Career & Technology Center to give students an exclusive tour of four local manufacturing leaders: J.F. Taylor, Inc, Platform Aerospace, Parraid, and Triton Defense. These cutting-edge companies, each driving major advancements from Southern Maryland, showcased exciting career opportunities in aerospace, engineering, communications, and precision manufacturing. The tour offered students a firsthand look at the innovation happening in their own backyard, bridging classroom learning with real-world possibilities. Through meaningful interactions with industry professionals, we hope these bright young minds were inspired to pursue careers that will shape the future of our community and beyond. Dr. James A.

Rain or shine, Vanilla UAS pushes the boundaries of long-endurance flight! Numerous flight events demonstrate Vanilla’s resilience and ability to operate in harsh conditions. At the OUSD(R&E) TREX 23-2 event, anticipated storms were on track to derail exercise test objectives. Seeing forecasts, Vanilla launched 24-hours ahead of schedule and flew through the storms, and the event. Later, while flying in USINDOPACOM’s Valiant Shield 24 exercise, Vanilla flew through heavy winds and rain to maintain communications relay coverage for the exercise. Our pilots watched as Vanilla gained and lost 1,000ft in altitude in seconds, over the course of several hours before returning and landing safely in Guam. That flight resulted in Vanilla providing record-breaking Link-16 coverage for our Army customers. Formal testing confirms Vanilla's ability to operate in static rainfall rates up to 1 inch per hour. Whether flying through or around weather, Vanilla's resilience ensures unparalleled persistence for our customers' most demanding missions. #UAS #UAV #PlatformAerospace #VanillaUAV #VanillaUAS #Innovation #aerospace #Engineering #Aerospaceredefined #OUSD(R&E) #RDER
