Unmanned Systems Source announces partnership with Guild Optical Associates, Inc.

Unmanned Systems Source is pleased to announce a new distribution partnership with Guild Optical Associates, Inc. Guild Optical Associates, Inc. specializes in the precision fabrication of custom optical components. Guild Optics manufactures all their components in the USA and uses domestically sourced raw materials. They are recognized within the industry for their ability to accurately and efficiently process optical components from raw synthetic sapphire and other hard optical materials. “We are excited about our partnership with Guild Optical and the unmanned applications of their sapphire window product line,” said Jennifer Jerrick, President of Unmanned Systems Source. Sapphire is the second hardest optical material available today. It is highly scratch resistant and can stand up to contact with sand, dust, salt, and water. Because the material is so strong, Sapphire windows can typically be much thinner than optical windows made from fused silica or glass. It also allows for better field of vision for the lens and the operator. “Unmanned vehicles all make use of optical assemblies that are very delicate and very expensive. The sapphire product line helps protect and, therefore, extend the use of these assemblies,” said Jerrick. Guild Optical Associates, Inc. is ISO Quality Certified and ITAR compliant. The company utilizes an in-house machine shop to allow customized tooling for job requirements for fast turnaround times and improved tooling costs. Headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, Unmanned Systems Source is an online, e-commerce warehouse with the fastest growing selection of unmanned systems and remote sensing products available today. It is positioned as a single source of supply and information with innovative configuration and development tools that enable visitors to research, configure and purchase a fully customized unmanned system to suit specific applications...all with the click of a mouse. Unmanned Systems Source serves commercial, governmental and public sectors.

Unmanned Systems Retailer Positioned for Growth

July 14, 2014 – A new company with long-standing ties to the unmanned industry, seeks to change the way unmanned systems are configured and purchased. Unmanned Systems Source is an online, e-commerce warehouse with its eyes set on the growth of an industry that has largely been the domain of government entities. “There is a huge demand for unmanned systems and remote sensing in both the commercial and public sectors that is largely untapped,” said Jennifer Jerrick, President of Unmanned Systems Source. As the use of remote sensors and unmanned systems expands, Unmanned Systems Source is positioned to meet that demand as a one-stop-shop with innovative configuration and development tools. “There hasn’t been a single source of supply and information where a consumer can research, configure and purchase equipment,” said Jerrick. “At UnmannedSystemsSource.com buyers can combine all the technology they need to create a custom system that suits their specific application. People can design, integrate and purchase a system with the click of a mouse rather than trying to do so from the 10’s to 100’s of vendors normally required.” Unmanned Systems Source is built on more than 25 years of industry experience which provides direct benefits to visitors. Those benefits include: extensive product descriptions, technical data and drawings, detailed specifications, comparison tools, and other educational resources. In addition, an internal team of technical and configuration specialists are available to answer questions. Consumers also find competitive pricing from a company that buys in bulk. Unmanned Systems Source continues to expand, increasing its distribution partnerships with manufacturers and producers of hardware and software that serve the industry. Jerrick believes Unmanned System Source will become the destination for procurement agents and consumers across the remote sensing industry. “We are the online destination for users, engineers and procurement agents to research, design, configure and purchase unmanned systems and remote sensing products,” said Jerrick.” For additional media information, contact Pamela James at: pamela.james@unmannedsystemssource.com
