Expert Drone Services and Software Now Available to Public Sector
WASHINGTON and RESTON, Va. , March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Measure UAS, Inc, the leader in aerial intelligence, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a formal partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Measure’s Master Government Aggregator, providing proactive sales and marketing assistance for Measure’s solutions in the public sector marketplace and adding Measure’s drone solutions to Carahsoft’s contract vehicles.
Carahsoft’s reseller partners and public sector customers will now have access to the only national Drone as a Service® company via Carahsoft’s NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contract and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA), and National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) cooperative purchasing vehicles.
“Carahsoft has built a reputation as a customer-centric organization dedicated to serving the technology and service needs of the government,” said Dan Rothfield, Chief Operating Officer at Measure. “By leveraging a variety of contract vehicles, Measure will be able to provide our suite of drone-related services and software across federal, state and local government agencies and education institutions.”
Measure designed the Drone as a Service (DaaS) business model with the understanding that most customers do not have the time, expertise or resources to scale their drone-based projects. By partnering with Measure, organizations can leverage training, data analysis, and software to advance internal drone programs or delegate their aerial intelligence operations to Measure pilots and data engineers who work directly with existing workflows and objectives.
“With an expansive and comprehensive platform of drone technology and software solutions, Measure is a valuable addition to our vendor and end user ecosystem,” said Lacey Wean, Manager of Carahsoft’s Geospatial and UAS Solutions Team. “We look forward to expanding our drone hardware and software portfolio and supporting federal, state and local governments’ needs for unmanned aerial vehicles.”
Measure’s latest aerial intelligence solution is Ground Control™ 2.0, a next-generation drone software platform. Ground Control acts as an all-in-one solution that allows users to better:
- Manage people and equipment
- Schedule and plan flights
- Fly and collect data
- Track and report activity
- Store and use information
Measure’s portfolio of drone software and services are available immediately via Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B and NASPO ValuePoint, National IPA and NCPA cooperative purchasing contracts.
