Waivtec and AutoBridge AI Partnerships to Integrate Technologies into the Drone Airship Test Platform, and On and Off board Drones
Skyborne Technology and Xeriant to Test Advanced Proprietary Technologies for Near Space and Space Initiatives
PORT ST JOE, Fla. and WEWAHITCHKA, Fla., June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UAV Corp. (OTC: UMAV) subsidiary Skyborne Technology has successfully transported and secured all critical DART Drone Airship components and substructures, to include power components, outer envelope, and the inner envelope from the manufacturing facility in Wewahitchka, FL. to the company owned hangar and airport facilities in Port St. Joe, FL. (A51). The airport provides the appropriate test range area needed to safely perform the impending weight balance analysis. This exhaustive testing will be observed and certified by a FAA, DAR (Designated Airworthiness Representative) and be crucial to the submission of appropriate documentation for FAA Experimental Certification. The Skyborne Technology flight team expects a very positive outcome due to their extensive experience with piloting the DART series drone airships, ground handling, maintenance and requirements of FAA compliance. The testing timetable is currently dependent on the helium delivery schedule. The regional helium supply of an order of this size could take as long as three to six weeks; the order has been placed. Once the helium delivery is locked down, the company will finalize scheduling with the DAR. STI will keep the public updated on the event dates.

Skyborne Technology, WAIVTEC and AutoBridge
STI has selected Waivtec and AutoBridge for key roles in the DART advanced aerial systems. Waivtec AI optics will be a preferred payload option on all aerial platforms giving Skyborne Technology an unmatched wide-area capability in the aerospace industry. AutoBridge AI will be integrated into the actual drone flight control systems as well as the key to fusing the multiple mission system options. The combination of these three companies will provide STI front end users unprecedented real time holistic data access from on and off board sensors and drones.
Skyborne Technology and Xeriant
Skyborne Technology, a UAV Corp (UMAV) and Xeriant are continuing to work together to create solutions through advanced materials that are needed for low earth, near space and space initiatives. These technologies will provide hard structures and new fabrics with superior properties, including materials that are lighter, stronger, and resistant to fire.
Xeriant recently passed one of the most significant fire safety and commercialization milestones, the rigorous NFPA 286 fire test, and received a Class A fire rating with the ASTM E84 fire test, the highest classification available under the standard, demonstrating no combustion and no smoke generation during testing. Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, President of Factor X Research Group, Xeriant’s advanced research and innovation hub, stated, “We are excited to partner with UAV Corp. Our advanced nanomaterials and fire-resistant composite technologies are a natural fit to optimize the weight, durability, and performance of UAV’s airships and drones. This relationship will position both companies to accelerate innovation across aerospace, defense, and emerging space applications.”
