-- UAV Corp
(OTC:
UMAV), a pioneer in advanced aerospace platforms and defense
technologies, announces the appointment of William Francis "Bill"
Gately as Chief Security Officer (CSO). A decorated law enforcement
leader and internationally recognized expert in anti-money
laundering and counter-terrorist financing, Gately brings nearly
five decades of operational, investigative, and strategic security
experience to UMAV's expanding mission.
A U.S. Marine Corps
veteran with three Purple Hearts and over 28 years of service with
the U.S. Customs Service, Gately is best known for developing the
"Systems Targeting" approach to dismantling international criminal
enterprises. His leadership in Operation Casablanca set the
standard for financial crime investigations, and his methodologies
continue to guide federal and international enforcement efforts to
this day.
"Bill's resume is in a
league of its own," said Michael Lawson, CEO of UAV Corp. "He has
led some of the most impactful undercover and intelligence
operations in U.S. history and trained global forces on combating
terrorism, narco-trafficking, and financial fraud. His appointment
solidifies our commitment to best-in-class security practices as we
grow in aerospace, surveillance, and biosecurity
sectors."
As CSO, Gately will lead
all security and compliance initiatives across UAV Corp's domestic
and international operations, including cyber defense, surveillance
countermeasures, and high-stakes threat mitigation strategies. His
experience advising U.S. law enforcement, intelligence agencies,
and foreign governments uniquely positions him to safeguard UMAV's
assets, personnel, and sensitive technologies.
Gately previously served
as Managing Director of Telinco LLC (US affiliate of RCS S.p.A.,
Milan), where he worked with global law enforcement on lawful
interception and surveillance solutions. He has lectured and
consulted for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, U.S.
Treasury, UNODC, and the governments of Australia, New Zealand, and
multiple Southeast Asian nations.
"I've spent my career
identifying and dismantling threats before they escalate," said
Gately. "At UAV Corp, I see the opportunity to build a secure
infrastructure around technologies that can protect lives and
reshape industries. I'm honored to join this team at such a pivotal
time."
