Unmanned Aircraft Systems

The burgeoning UAS industry is challenging old business models and generating opportunities for newcomers. Disruptive technologies are being rapidly developed throughout the United States and abroad. With forecasted economic impact over the next decade in excess of $100 billion worldwide, much is at stake. As an aerospace investment bank, NEXA Capital’s team of knowledgeable experts can provide investors and businesses with opportunities and strategies for navigating a dynamic and competitive marketplace.

NEXA Capital has been providing advisory services and capital investment to the UAS industry since 2009 and we have seen the progression of market and technology trends of UAS businesses seeking guidance and investment. Business models have transitioned away from government contracts towards a growing opportunity of commercial revenues; Development and adoption of UAS technologies has outpaced promulgation of regulations, particularly in the US; and, merger and acquisition activities have accelerated as companies position for commercial markets and applications.

NEXA Capital is focused on value creation in three areas of the UAS industry:

  • Sourcing capital investment and building industry relationships
  • Commercial market opportunities for UAS businesses
