The Unusual Machines Approach to Low Cost Drones and Drone Components

The Unusual Machines Approach to Low Cost Drones and Drone Components

Unusual Machines CEO Allan Evans is the guest on this episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology podcast.

Headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Unusual Machines describes itself as a "classic American technology company born from garage tinkerers and hobbyists, focused on serving the emerging drone industry with unique and innovative products." The company recently launched a new low cost flight controller for drones, the Riot Brave F7, that achieved "Blue UAS" certification from the Department of Defense's (DoD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) in August.

Over the last year, DoD launched its new "Replicator" initiative, which is focused on the deployment of thousands of new low cost or "attributable" autonomous systems such as drones. On this episode of the podcast, Evans provides some perspective on Replicator, how the war in Ukraine is reflecting the effectiveness of low cost modified drones in modern warfare, and the future of low cost drones and drone components manufactured in the U.S.
