Will Be Exclusive U.S. Sales Rep For Micro Autopilot Technology

Ascent Vision and MicroPilot announced today that they have recently signed an agreement for Ascent Vision to serve as MicroPilot’s U.S.-based sales representative. Ascent Vision will assist MicroPilot, the leader in professional UAS autopilots, in their global sales efforts. Ascent Vision is a leading producer of precision-imaging Gimbaled technologies.

“MicroPilot’s products are well-known and respected within the UAS industry,” said Tim Sheehy, Ascent Vision Founder and CEO. “We are very pleased to be working with them to provide greater access to UAS manufacturers and increase their market share.

“The partnership is a good fit for both of us, as we have established relationships with many of these companies and representing MicroPilot complements our own activities,” added Sheehy.

MicroPilot offers a family of lightweight UAS autopilots that are used on a variety of platforms—fixed wing, helicopter and multi-rotor. The company also provides autopilot related software, accessories and customized UAS autopilot integration services. Their products are used by both commercial and military customers.

“Partnering with Ascent Vision helps us reach even more customers,” said Howard Loewen, President of MicroPilot. “While we have been successful in growing our market share, we have had some challenges in servicing customers whose UAVs are ITAR controlled. Ascent Vision has the capabilities to work with these customers, and as a result enhance our sales efforts.”

Ascent Vision manufactures a variety of gimbaled technologies, including the CM100. This Dual-Sensor Gyro-Stabilized Gimbal imaging system has been specifically designed for use on unmanned aircraft. With its light weight and size, the CM100 is easily integrated and mounted into almost any platform with ease. The innovative CM100 provides superior performance and cost-effective value with reliable results.

MicroPilot offers a family of lightweight UAV autopilots that can fly fixed-wing, transitional, helicopter, and multi-rotor UAVs. MicroPilot also provides complementary products such as the XTENDERmp SDK, trueHWIL2 simulator.
