American Robotics' top executive, Reese Mozer, serves as both co-founder and CEO in the United States.
In the world of industrial intelligence, a groundbreaking innovation is making waves - the Scout System, an end-to-end, fully autonomous drone solution developed by American Robotics. This drone-in-a-box design, under the visionary leadership of its Co-founder and CEO, Reese Mozer, is reshaping industries such as agriculture, railways, oil & gas, and utilities.
The Scout System is a fully automated drone solution that performs continuous, hands-free data collection without the need for human pilots. It boasts real-time data processing and remote fleet management through a cloud interface, enabling scalable and repeatable high-frequency data capture previously unattainable due to human resource limits.
Installed directly at customer sites, the Scout System autonomously conducts flights, collects imagery, and uploads analytics, enabling users to monitor and manage operations with minimal intervention. This capability is particularly valuable in industries requiring frequent inspections and monitoring over large or remote areas.
In agriculture, the Scout System provides scalable aerial data capture to monitor crop health and farming conditions without pilot scheduling constraints. For railways, it enables regular inspections of tracks and infrastructure to improve safety and maintenance planning. In the oil & gas industry, it facilitates frequent surveillance of facilities and pipelines, supporting preventive maintenance and environmental monitoring. And for utilities, it supports inspection of power lines and other infrastructure, reducing the need for manual inspections and improving response times.
American Robotics, the company behind the Scout System, made history in 2021 when it became the first company to receive FAA Part 107 waiver approval for autonomous drone operations without visual observers or pilots on-site. This regulatory approval opened a new category of unmanned systems that can operate continuously and at scale.
In 2021, American Robotics was acquired by Ondas Holdings, which has since expanded the AeroDrone business unit by acquiring additional companies like Israeli autonomous drone firm Airobotics in 2022. Under this umbrella, Reese Mozer continues to advance the Scout System’s deployment and capabilities, further cementing its role as a leading autonomous drone platform in industrial sectors.
Reese Mozer's vision extends beyond the Scout System. He envisions a future where automated aerial systems become infrastructure, providing real-time monitoring, compliance, and optimization for industrial networks. His work continues to shape how autonomy, compliance, and data converge in the next era of industrial intelligence.

Elsewhere in the industry, Manna has raised $30M to scale rapid drone delivery, while Vertical Aerospace has secured $90 million. The drone industry is undoubtedly on the rise, with innovators like Reese Mozer at the forefront of this exciting technological revolution.
