Carolina Unmanned Vehicles (CUV) is a small woman-owned company focused on a family of small mobile tethered blimps, the Expeditionary Aerostat System (EAS). The family consists of Small Tactical Multi-Payload Aerostat System (STMPAS) single HMMWV Trailer mounted aerostat, STMPAS-Dual using two trailers for larger aerostats, the ISO Container Aerostat System for the largest payloads. All use a Lifting Aerostat allowing small units to operate in high winds. EAS can carry Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications relays, EO/IR payloads for very long term surveillance of camps and other facilities and is adaptable to COMINT / SIGINT payloads. The larger versions can lift advanced radars for long range targeting for anti-ship missiles and for cruise missile air defense. Customers include the Army, USAF, Lockheed and Sandia Lab. STMPAS was deployed to Afghanistan to provide EO/IR surveillance for small tactical units. Non-military applications include law enforcement, border security and research. CUV is also involved with the Excipio and Spitfire kinetic counter-UAS systems with partner companies.

Flint Hills Solutions (FHS) is a leader in research, product development, systems integration, rapid prototyping, flight testing, leading to commercializaiton of sUAS solutions utilizing a fully autonomous system that is platform agnostic and Industrial grade.
