Steven Gitlin, Vice President Marketing Strategy and Communications at AeroVironment in Simi Valley, Calif., poses for a portrait on May 13, 2015 as he holds the Qube Drone, the rugged and reliable small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) specifically targeting the needs of first responders. The Qube packaged system fits easily in the trunk of a car, and can be assembled and ready for flight in less than five minutes to provide a rapidly deployable eye in the sky, transmitting live video directly to the operator.
