A UK-based company that specialises in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) solutions, utilising industry-leading military experience to provide training, consultancy, defence services and research & development (R&D).
Company description:
Training focuses on two key areas; the Commercial Sector using sub-20kg UAS and the Defence Sector using MALE (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) vehicles. The Remote Unmanned Systems Training Academy, (RUSTA), which is CAA accredited as a National Qualified Entity (NQE), is owned and operated by EEI to deliver commercial training in the sub-20kg category for individuals and businesses to obtain their Permission for Commercial Operation (PfCO). RUSTA has been operating since 2015 and has trained over 2000 candidates worldwide.
Within our Defence and Security Services, EEI has been awarded a contract by the Royal Air Force (RAF) to provide front line MQ-9 Reaper Force training in tactics and procedures at both RAF Waddington and Creech AFB. This is a huge achievement, being the first company outside of America to have the expertise and resources available to secure and deliver an MQ-9 Reaper contract to the Military.
Through consultancy EEI helps individuals and businesses to identify which UAS are suitable to meet their Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) needs, assisting them with training, operational services and procedures, and through-life support. Among others, the consultancy has been provided to the British Army UAS Concepts and Development Centre (CDC) in order to help them define standards for UAS systems and operations.
Within the R&D space, EEI will imminently be embarking on a project with the European Space Agency (ESA) exploring in-depth Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) applications within the Energy Sector, and exploring heavy lift capabilities, with Gnosys based in Guildford and Kinectrics a Canadian company.
Having world-leading experience on-board has allowed us to stand out against our competitors while assuring a high level of training and services to our customers.
EEI is a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on drones as a special advisor, highlighting our professional reputation within the industry.
