Drone technology is evolving, and many individuals and businesses are embracing it in their operations. For instance, the technology is used in industries that include real estate, construction, agriculture, filming & photography, as well as emergency services.<\/p>\n
The agriculture sector is also embracing drone technology to improve its operations. When using an agricultural drone<\/a> one gets more accurate and faster data to assess crops or livestock using thermal imaging. As a result of the evolution of drone technology, the drone manufacturing industry is also growing.<\/p>\n The latest $200 million acquisition deal of Aeryon Labs<\/a>, the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) firm, by FLIR Systems, shows that the drone industry continues to grow. Aeryon Labs<\/strong> is Canadian based while FLIR Systems<\/strong> is from Oregon. There are many benefits of this acquisition deal to the two merged companies as well as the drone industry at large.<\/p>\n When an organization acquires another company, the two companies form a merger, and they will immensely benefit from the deal. In this case, the Canadian based Aeryon is a leader in the design of drones. It is also a leading manufacturer of drone solutions that are under 20 pounds.<\/p>\n The drones that are below 20 pounds are used for different purposes, and they differ from other similar products. For instance, Aeryon Labs mainly works with public safety, global military as well as critical market infrastructure.<\/p>\n The organization also works with more than 20 military agencies in over 30 countries. These customers also include the US Defense Department meaning that Aeryon Labs already has a strong customer base. The success of the company mainly depends on the level of its customer base compared to other competitors.<\/p>\n The new entity after the merger will build a strong customer foundation drawing the customers from two backgrounds. The company will also be in a better position to penetrate new markets by offering improved UAV solutions. Already, the US and Canadian markets are significant, and they can also help the firm to attract more customers. <\/p>\nAdvantages Of Acquisition<\/h2>\n
