Vertical Integration
We develop core technologies in-house instead of assembling third-party products into a catalog — one architecture, one accountable source.
Three Decades of Defense Tech, Now Airborne
AAD — ATN Aerospace & Defense — is the aerospace and defense division of ATN Corp, built to deliver the complete drone electronics stack: cameras, avionics, edge compute, and onboard AI, engineered and manufactured in the United States.
AAD · ATN Corp
A Heritage of Innovation
Founded in 1995, ATN Corp became a Silicon Valley force that redefined its industry — pioneering digital thermal optics and building field-proven technology for military and law-enforcement professionals for more than three decades.
AAD is the aerospace and defense division born from that pedigree. We're not a startup finding its footing; we're a specialized division built on 30+ years of manufacturing battle-tested technology. Headquartered in Florida, AAD bridges traditional aerospace engineering with the rapid agility of modern FPV platforms.
The result: the reliability of an established defense prime, delivered with the speed of a technology company.

One Ecosystem, Built in America
AAD designs and manufactures the entire stack required for modern unmanned systems — from cameras and onboard AI to avionics and edge compute — as a single integrated ecosystem. By fusing Silicon Valley innovation with battlefield realities, we replace the multi-vendor scramble with one trusted source.
NDAA-Compliant by Design
Compliance isn't added at the end. A trusted supply chain is engineered in from the first schematic, for programs that demand it.
Engineered for Contested Environments
EW-resilient navigation, GPS-denied capability, and air-gapped onboard AI — built for the environments where systems are tested hardest.
American-Made
Designed and manufactured in the United States for government, defense, and commercial operators that require it.
The Reliability of a Defense Prime.The Speed of a Tech Company.
We design the complete technological stack to revolutionize how unmanned systems are built — from visual intelligence and mission systems to the airframes themselves.
Made in America, Built to a Standard
AAD is headquartered in Doral, Florida, where it designs and manufactures to NDAA requirements for government, defense, and commercial programs that demand a trusted supply chain.
Domestic manufacturing and a controlled hardware stack mean fewer supply-chain unknowns, faster integration, and components that meet US defense procurement standards out of the box.
