Company Builds Unmanned Air Systems
John Purvis has been named Vice President of Small Tactical
Unmanned Air Systems (STUAS) at AeroMech Engineering (AME). Mr.
Purvis comes to AME from a large ISR Systems Integrator where he
served as the Vice President for Corporate Strategic Development
and International Business, covering over $500M in annual business.
He founded the Aviation Programs business area in Denver, Colorado,
leading over 425 people in service of U.S. Special Operations
Command and the United States Air Force.
"We are very pleased to have John Purvis on the AME Team," said
Jay McConville, President and CEO of AME, making the announcement
Thursday. "John is an experienced executive who knows how to
develop and deliver complex ISR and IEW systems to our defense
customers, and he will bring that experience to the fielding of our
successful STUAS line - including the Fury(TM) UAS. He is both a
visionary and a results-oriented engineering professional."
"We have a real opportunity here to serve the Warfighter with
unique special mission UAS platforms," added Mr. Purvis. "AME's
team of dedicated professionals and unique unmanned system
portfolio has all the fundamentals needed to meet multiple customer
requirements. I am extremely impressed with their engineering
capability as well as the line of successful unmanned systems.
"AME is a full UAS systems provider, with a strong portfolio,
including the Fury(TM), a breakthrough UAS optimized for special
payload missions, and Sharkfin, an advanced mission management
system for reconnaissance and surveillance assets. I am proud to be
associated with a team doing so much for our nation and our world's
defense."
John has a Bachelor's and Master's of Science in Aerospace
Engineering from the University of Colorado.
