Government Drone & UAS Supplier

VRAS supports federal, state, municipal, and defense prime buyers sourcing unmanned aircraft systems, payloads, ground control equipment, batteries, and sustainment spares under formal procurement processes.

What agencies buy through VRAS

Most agency UAS requirements arrive as a mixed line-item list rather than a single airframe: an aircraft, a payload, spare propellers and batteries, a case, and a sustainment package. We quote the full bill of materials from a single point of contact so contracting personnel are not managing five vendors for one mission package.

  • Multirotor and fixed wing airframes for inspection, survey, and public safety
  • EO/IR, mapping, and multispectral payloads
  • Ground control stations, tablets, radios, and antenna kits
  • Smart batteries, chargers, and transport/charging cases
  • Propellers, arms, gimbals, and field-replaceable spares
  • Training aids, spare-parts kits, and sustainment packages

How the procurement process works

Our workflow is built for buyers who must document what they bought, why, and from whom. Every step produces something that can go in a contract file.
