PureTech Systems and Clear Align Partner to Deliver Advanced Autonomous Security and Command-and-Control for US Air Force Tactical Security System

Friday, August 22nd, 2025

Phoenix, AZ — August 18, 2025 — PureTech Systems®, a leader in AI-boosted geospatial video analytics and command-and-control solutions, announced its role in a joint effort with Clear Align to deliver a rapidly deployable perimeter security solution for the U.S. Air Force’s Tactical Security System (TSS).

Awarded under a seven-year, $199 million contract, this modular, scalable system is designed to enhance base and perimeter protection for forward-deployed installations, airfields, and emergency missions worldwide. It integrates electro-optical and infrared cameras, radar, and advanced AI into a unified, autonomous command-and-control platform. Designed for challenging and remote environments, the solution enables operators to detect, classify, and track threats in real time — with or without direct operator intervention.

Autonomy + Command and Control

PureTech’s technology brings autonomous detection, classification, and tracking of potential threats — including people, vehicles, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and watercraft — with the ability to seamlessly cue operators or trigger automated responses. The system’s open architecture command-and-control platform provides complete situational awareness across all deployed sensors, reducing cognitive load and increasing mission effectiveness.

ATAK Integration for Real-Time Field Operations

Incorporating Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) compatibility ensures that situational awareness extends beyond the operations center. With ATAK integration, field personnel receive live intelligence and sensor alerts directly on mobile devices, enabling distributed teams to coordinate in real time and act with precision.

Rapid Deployment for Any Mission

The TSS is designed to be modular, lightweight, and rapidly deployable. Its autonomous operation and portable command centers make it ideal for protecting temporary or remote sites, securing perimeters in hostile environments, and supporting disaster response or high-value asset protection.

“This program demonstrates the Air Force’s commitment to leveraging the latest in AI, autonomy, and integrated command-and-control to protect personnel and assets in any environment,” said Larry Bowe, President & CEO, PureTech Systems. “We’re proud that our technology will play a central role in delivering unmatched situational awareness and operational agility to the mission.”

AV Delivers Initial P550 Autonomous Group 2 eVTOL Unmanned Aircraft Systems to US Army for LRR Program

Thursday, August 21st, 2025

ARLINGTON, Va., August 20, 2025 –AeroVironment, Inc. (“AV”) (NASDAQ: AVAV), a leader in intelligent, multi-domain robotic systems, today announced the successful delivery of its Group 2 P550™ small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) to the U.S. Army as part of the Long-Range Reconnaissance (LRR) program to support training and operations for Transformation in Contact (TiC) brigades. This initial delivery includes multiple P550 systems along with new equipment training and training master trainers to ensure mission readiness and rapid integration into the U.S. Army TiC Brigades and other designated units.

This milestone marks a significant achievement for both the Army and the all-new P550 product line. Built from the ground up with a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), the P550 is designed to meet evolving warfighter requirements, enabling rapid adaptation in dynamic, contested environments with multiple payload, radio, and power options to counter emerging threats and enhance lethality. It builds on decades of AV’s UAS development and production of combat-proven systems delivered to the Department of Defense and over 50 partner nations.

“We are proud to deliver the P550 to Army units, empowering warfighters with a system that can quickly adapt to fluid combat scenarios, providing unmatched reliability and flexibility,” said Trace Stevenson, AV’s President of Autonomous Systems. “Our team remains committed to supporting the Army with seamless delivery, training, and sustainment to ensure these systems are ready when needed.”

The P550 is AV’s latest autonomous Group 2 eVTOL system, redefining battlefield adaptability with rapid deployment, advanced situational awareness, and targeting and strike capabilities. Its proven AI and autonomy enable smarter, safer operations for maneuver forces. With class-leading payload capacity up to 15 pounds, endurance of up to 5 hours on all-battery power, and a Gross Take-Off Weight (GTOW) of 55 pounds, it can be reconfigured in under five minutes without tools, including hot-swapping payloads and batteries. Its open and scalable architecture not only future proofs the P550 for continuous upgrades but also keeps pace with technological advancements at low cost and risk.

The initial deliveries included comprehensive new equipment training conducted by AV’s field service representatives to ensure operators and maintainers can effectively integrate the P550 into their units. The systems were received by PM and evaluated by Master Trainers, who completed “train-the-trainer” instruction to enable rapid fielding and operational integration.

AV will continue to fulfill additional orders to support the Army’s evolving operational requirements.
