Aviation safety audit group Argus International (Booth 8945) intends to acquire Unmanned Safety Institute (USI) of Orlando, Fla., the company announced. The institute is a privately held business that focuses on safety training, certification and management for operators of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). It is projected that this transaction will be completed by the end of the month.
“Aligning ourselves with a recognized global leader in aviation safety such as Argus will allow USI to more quickly grow our service offerings, geographic reach and cross-over offerings to the rotary and fixed-wing industry, which is already adding UAS to their list of aviation assets,” stated USI president Aaron Greenwald.
