Ampex & Evolved Aero
Ampex and Evolved Aero deliver next-generation mission data capabilities for manned/unmanned platforms, making them a natural fit for World Defense Show’s focus on defense integration. Evolved Aero’s M200 unmanned helicopter, paired with an Ampex rugged data recorder, transforms the aircraft into a high-value sensor platform, ensuring every payload can collect, protect, and deliver data to its full potential.
Together, we showcase how advanced recording, rugged design, and unmanned innovation come together to support modern defense needs across air, land, sea, space, and security.
