Stuart identified the need to offer an alternative solution for customers requiring larger operating fleets, drastically reducing operating costs whilst not compromising on capability.

Stuart will over see the Pilot and tactical crew training.

Working closely with the rest of the UA9 team Stuart will ensure that training on every level will meet with standards and compliance to operate the UA9 safely, affectively and efficiently. The smooth and seamless introduction of the UA9 aircraft as a new operational type with government authorities and regulatory bodies ensuring that the aircraft complies and meets with all of the importation and certifying processes for legal operations.
