Vigilant has the most widely compatible, comprehensive, integrated and sophisticated approach to automatic detect-and-avoid and airspace management in the UAS industry. Check it out. https://t.co/W0joOlYu0A

I've had 3 calls so far today (it's not even 10) about defending against Russian cyber ops

I'm tired of having the same call... so... here's what I've told everyone. This is the playbook you need... but it's not going to be what you think it will be.

Ready? Lets go!
