Strategic Acquisition The acquisition of Altavian by FLIR Systems in December 2020 presents an opportunity to explore their integrated sensor drone technology, which could be appealing to clients seeking advanced environmental and security data collection solutions.

Government Contract Focus Altavian’s established relationship with the U.S. Army, including multiple contracts worth up to 250 million dollars, indicates a strong foothold in defense and military markets that can be expanded to other government agencies and security sectors.

Customization Capabilities Their focus on modular, customizable payload systems such as multispectral cameras and specialized sensors suggests potential sales opportunities with industries requiring tailored data collection solutions, including agriculture, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure inspection.

Industry Threats The company’s concern over unfair trade practices of foreign competitors highlights a niche for local and domestic defense and industrial customers who prioritize US-made technology, enabling targeted marketing efforts.

Innovation and Partnerships Altavian’s ongoing development of dual communication systems and partnerships with sensor manufacturers like Micasense indicates a commitment to technological innovation, which can attract clients seeking cutting-edge aerial data solutions in commercial and government sectors.
