Our History


Improving Aviation was incorporated in 2020 to support the Federal Government with R&D, systems engineering, and modeling and simulation efforts for the integration of emerging technologies. With this expertise, we understood the potential to bring deep tech to field operations and the geospatial industry. Our company started developing a flexible platform to integrate multiple sources of remote sensing data into actionable information.

At the core of Improving Aviation is a deep commitment to build resilience by integrating deep tech into field operations in a way that is thoughtful and embraces the expertise of those risking their lives today. Improving Aviation has been awarded multiple SBIR contracts with NASA, NOAA, and the DoD in the last 2 years for the development of technologies that enhance operations in the field through the combination of cutting-edge physical models and artificial intelligence approaches.
