During a 1998 presentation showcasing the strategic power of his latest Phoenix UAV design, Ken Rieli summed up his views of an industry in stagnation:
“Effective, low-cost National Defense solutions come from the innovation of small businesses, not big biz.”
After viewing the technology put before him, Col. Anthony Wood, Commanding Officer of the USMC Warfighting Lab at that time wrote:
“I have no doubt you can do it, and no doubt whatever that you are correct.. A man with grit & vision is needed to break open the UAV issue and show the real potential which these systems have to offer – and not just in the military sphere. Go for it! … you sound like someone who sets his own compass.”
As Ken Rieli predicted in 1998, every nation on Earth is engaged in developing or acquiring unmanned aerial vehicle fleets – for surveillance, defense, environmental monitoring, search & rescue and a host of commercial & industrial applications.
