UAV Corp Names David Dugas
as President and Chief Operating Officer
Seasoned Executive to Lead Operational and Strategic Growth
Initiatives
Wewahitchka, FL -- April 17, 2025
-- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- UAV Corp (OTC:
UMAV), an emerging leader in dual-use aerospace and defense
technology, is pleased to announce the appointment of David Dugas
as President and Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective
immediately.
Mr.
Dugas has played a critical role as COO and Director at UAV Corp,
bringing decades of leadership experience across aerospace-adjacent
sectors, energy, and chemical manufacturing. As the founder of
several successful companies—including Ultra Pure Water
Manufacturing, ESP Resources, and ESP Enterprises—Mr. Dugas is
known for driving operational scale, building high-performance
teams, and delivering consistent shareholder value.
"David brings a rare combination of vision, technical acumen, and
operational discipline," said Michael Lawson, CEO of UAV Corp. "His
expanded leadership role comes at a pivotal moment as we enter
full-scale production, deepen our partnerships, and pursue
uplisting and international expansion."
UAV
Corp is entering a critical phase of growth, marked by the upcoming
delivery of its first 8-foot T-Wing prototype—a milestone that
signals the transition into full-scale production, targeted for
May/June 2025. Developed in collaboration with Atlantic Industrial
Group, this next-generation UAV leverages advanced composites to
enhance lift and range for both defense and commercial use. At the
same time, preparations are underway for the pivotal flight test of
the DART Series Airship, a catalyst for unlocking $525 million in
signed LOIs and advancing $1.5 billion in active contract
negotiations.
As
these initiatives move into execution, Mr. Dugas' expanded
leadership will ensure alignment across production, engineering,
and compliance efforts. His operational oversight is especially
timely as UAV Corp deepens its strategic footprint through its MOU
with Genetic Networks and prepares to showcase its innovations on
the global stage at forums such as GEMTECH in Saudi Arabia. Dugas
will also help guide the company through its OTCQB uplisting
process and position it for a potential NASDAQ transition,
reinforcing his role as a central driver of UAV Corp's growth and
long-term vision.
