A History in Development and Innovation

With decades of unmanned systems development under our belts, GUS has refined and improved our airship designs to accommodate a wide range of industry applications. Our vast and varied experience with all things UAS (both civilian and military) provide Galaxy the tools necessary to accomplish any project relating to unmanned systems.

We can take ideas from “back-of-the-napkin” conceptual design to final implementation in various fields of operation in a relatively short period of time. We offer practical UAS solutions for both military and civilian organizations alike. Our piloting and construction techniques have been tried and tested with great success in a variety of demanding situations.

Welcome to our site and feel free to get in touch with us to see how we can help you with all your UAS needs!

About

Galaxy Unmanned Systems L.L.C. is made of a core group of industry professionals that have worked their way up first through the commercial side of the UAS industry and then the DoD side. This anomaly provides for a well-balanced experience and skill matrix that includes many of the fundamentals necessary to innovate and facilitate most unmanned systems applications. Those include; concept, design, manufacturing, certification, testing, payload configuration, subsystem integration, documentation, training and operations. These assertions are backed by a cumulative 40 + years of hands on industry experience with VTOL, fixed wing, rotary wing and RPAs, RPVs, UAV’s, sUAS/UAS and LTA systems.

Unmanned Airship Flight Operations

Galaxy Unmanned Systems L.L.C. is a pioneer in unmanned airship flight operations. Prior to the 2007 FAA United States National Airspace System (US NAS) shutdown, Galaxy flew our 35ft, 60ft, 75ft and various other airships all over the U.S. The map below provides a brief look at a few places we have flown, including our reach beyond the United States.
