On Thursday, April 26, 1:00 pm, ET the UAS Angel Network, in cooperation with the Unmanned Aerial Systems Cluster Initiative (UASCI) is hosting an online presentation of two early stage UAS deals seeking investment.
Our intent is to create an opportunity where those interested in exploring the UAS field for investment purposes can meet like-minded investors, share insights and experiences and meet possible co-investors.
The two companies presenting are Aker Pest Network, www.aker.ag and WiBotic, www.wibotic.com
If you are interested in participating in this invitation only event please contact Jim Troxel at jtroxel@wbtangels.com.

Technology Spotlight
Batteries as structural elements
Army Research Lab
In most power applications, a battery is used in combination with structural or support elements. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) typically include batteries that are mounted in a polymer composite airframe and common circuit boards routinely support batteries. Efforts to lessen weight and create more space for other components in these battery-powered devices have typically focused on increasing the power and energy density of batteries.
Army researchers have departed from the conventional approaches to optimizing battery-powered electronic systems and devices, and they have invented battery systems that are sufficiently rigid and strong to function as panels, columns, beams, pylons, and other structural elements of the objects in which they are incorporated. For example, portions of the airframe of a UAS may be fabricated from structural batteries, which reduces its weight and increases the amount of electrical power carried.
