UAV Market
  The UAV market is not going away. Iraq and Afghanistan
have proven the value of UAVs for reconnaissance and
weapons delivery.
  Worldwide UAV market is $3.4B, increasing to $7.3B
  Total spending will be $55B over the next 10 years
  More opportunities once FAA opens national airspace
  One of the only expanding areas in 2009 DOD budget
  The opportunities lie with companies that fill specific
niches.
“We need greater investment in advanced technology ranging
from the revolutionary, like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles… which
provide the backbone of our ability to extend global power.”
- President Barack Obama
