AeroVis is not a typical drone company. Our operational standards are derived directly from our founder's two decades of military and commercial aviation experience.

Kevin Padilla brings over 2,000 flight hours as a U.S. Army aviator and commercial helicopter pilot. His background includes executing high-stakes missions in restricted airspace within the National Capital Region, supporting Department of Defense leadership, conducting contracted overseas operations in Africa in support of AFRICOM, and executing complex overwater and hoist operations.

This deep aviation background means AeroVis applies manned-aviation risk management, crew resource management, and disciplined flight planning to every drone mission we fly. We do not just operate drones; we manage airspace.
