“Lessons Learned: Rapid Product Development from Commercial-to-Military-to-Dual Use”

OC Chapter meeting in Irvine on June 2

Please join us in Irvine on Thursday, June 2, 7:30–9:00am (breakfast 7:00-7:30am) when Brian Riese (CEO & President, Phenix Solutions) and Mark Zimmerman (CTO, Phenix Solutions), the founders of Phenix Solutions, will provide real-world “Lessons Learned: Rapid Product Development from Commercial-to-Military-to-Dual Use.” Oregon-based Phenix Solutions has developed a super-heavy weight, rotor lift, Jet-A fueled military drone in an unbelievably short timeframe. In technical terms, it’s a long-range, 3,000 MTOW Coaxial Rotor Remote Piloted Aircraft. The drone is successfully being flight tested by the US military, but in the end it will be a dual-use aircraft. Phenix has successfully obtained continued government funding on an accelerated basis during the highly condensed aircraft development process.

The meeting is free for members and $30 for non-members ($40 after May 26). Non-members may guest twice for free.  Click here to register to attend the meeting.
