Under the partnership, ACE's facility in Guntersville, Alabama, will serve as the primary installation hub for retrofitting Black Hawk helicopters with SkyOS. The Black Hawk comprises the largest fleet of helicopters in the world and will be in service for years to come. This collaboration addresses the rising demand for more advanced, safer, and user-friendly aviation solutions in the civilian market, particularly for public safety, search and rescue, and other critical life-saving services. ACE also sells Black Hawks in foreign markets representing an opportunity to introduce SkyOS in offshore markets.

The integration of SkyOS into ACE's Black Hawk fleet promises to set a new industry benchmark for innovation, providing operators with a seamless, safer flight experience, and unlocking the capability to make every Black Hawk optionally-piloted for high-risk or non-passenger missions.
