Strat Aero is an international aerospace services company focussed primarily on the provision of training solutions, management systems and consultancy services to the international aviation market. The Directors, who have extensive experience in multiple aspects of the aviation industry, are looking to capitalise on opportunities resulting from the forecasted strong growth in the airline industry and in particular, the predicted almost exponential growth in the emerging UAV industry over the coming decade.

The Group is organised into three divisions:

· Unmanned Aerial Systems ("UAS") Pilot Training and Services

· Aviation Software, Products and Services

· Aviation Management and Consultancy Services

The Company has developed an operating platform from which to expand its divisional activities. The primary focus will be capitalising on UAS pilot training and services, through leveraging its expertise and fully functional training facility at Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico, United States ("Roswell"). Training of US Air Force UAS pilots is expected to commence by early Q1 2015 in partnership with Northrop Grumman. The Group has further leveraged its position to target the provision of UAS training and services to non-military markets including law enforcement, education and corporate.

In addition to its UAS division, the Company has built a proprietary advanced aerospace management system which it develops and markets through its Aviation, Software, Products and Services division. This has multiple functionality which will be also marketed to non-aerospace sectors.

The third division, Aviation Management and Consultancy, has a primary emphasis on fixed base operators and other service providers and utilises the cumulative experience of the management team and employees. Contracts are already in place, a number of which are generating revenues including one for the provision of consultancy services for the establishment of a new low cost airline.

The Group is headquartered at Gatwick airport in the United Kingdom and operates from a network of offices and consultants in London, New York, Houston, Seattle and Singapore.

The Company's main country of operation is initially expected to be the USA.
