Arlington defense contractor AeroVironment Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) is donating more than 100 unmanned aircraft systems and training services to defense officials in Ukraine. The company said the donation was presented last week by Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment’s chairman, president and CEO, at the Embassy of Ukraine in Georgetown. Nawabi said in a statement the donation of the company’s Quantix Recon systems will provide Ukraine’s military with unmanned vehicles that can fly by enemy forces undetected and unaffected by radio frequency jammers to relay reconnaissance intel.
