Bugs and Lights


Focus on what is hot

The UAS/Drone industry has gotten a lot of attention for a long time and with privacy and safety issues it will continue to garner attention. At first it got attention because of its effectiveness in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then about the same time the profits from General Atomics, Northrup Grumman, Insitu and Areovironment. Then there as outrage over killing American Jihadist without due process. Then there was a lot of anticipation over the six FAA test sites around the country. Here was a lot of excitement about the Texas Equuearch law suit and the appeal. There is a lot of excitement but we are not hearing excitement about commercial UAS enterprises. It’s a tough business when you’re business is not legal.

Well the markets where commercial UAS is targeting still need product, agriculture, surveying, security and oil and gas. GUTC has product that is marketable for these industries. For agriculture ECO-Agri Formula has widespread uses, from softening water and breaking down the effects of nitrogen based fertilizer to a non-toxic solution for killing bugs, all bugs. They cannot develop an immunity to it either.

Then there are LED Lights, how they relate to UAS applications? It help GUTC pay the bills until our foreign clients officially order products and the FAA finalizes the guidelines for commercial UAS operations. Through DX2 Broadcast we have direct access to 20 LED manufactures, pizza lights for DOT road crews, video walls, bay lighting and bar lights. Municipalities, churches, commercial buildings for retrofit or new construction. They save energy and last significantly longer that incandescent and no issues with hazmat if they break or need to be disposed of. I haven’t seem a market this hot since the mortgage and real-estate market from 1998 to 2006. It might just keep our lights on until these foreign markets order products and the FAA figures out what they want.
