Shortly after, the company also announced that it was acquiring two commercial drone pilot networks, Droners and AirVid, thus creating a massive network of licensed drone pilots. The company said that it plans to merge both companies under the Droners brand to form an immediate network of 15,000 drone pilots, which would be used not only as a channel for connecting drone pilots with companies directly, but also serve PrecisionHawk’s own enterprise client base.
