🎉 A huge congratulations to Norway on the recent win!! We couldn’t have picked a better time to visit and celebrate your success while exploring new opportunities together.

As our CEO, Kurt Parsons, often says:
“Everyone needs to be rowing in the boat. And if you’re not rowing, get out of the boat.”

It’s a simple philosophy, but one that reflects the culture we’re building at Platform Aerospace. Whether we’re advancing ultra long-endurance, supporting our customers, or strengthening partnerships around the world, success depends on every member of the team contributing and moving in the same direction.

A great way to close off our visit to NORSOCOM and continue building relationships with partners who understand that mission success is always a team effort.

🇳🇴 Thanks to our Norwegian hosts for the warm welcome and
for the reminder that sometimes the best leadership lessons happen outside the conference room. 🚣

MQ-22 Swift (Vanilla) is redefining what’s possible in long-endurance unmanned operations.
 
With the ability to remain aloft for up to eight days and carry up to 150 lbs/68 kg of operationally relevant payloads, Vanilla supports a wide range of mission sets, including Communications Relay, ISR, SIGINT, Kinetic and Non-Kinetic Air Launched Effects (ALE), Decoy operations, and additional sensor integrations.
 
What sets Vanilla apart is the convergence of extreme endurance and meaningful payload capacity, enabling multiple, distinct missions to be executed in a single flight. 
 
Fewer launches. Greater coverage. Expanded operational flexibility.

This is persistence with purpose, designed to meet real-world mission demands and adapt as those demands evolve.
