As Advanced Drone Solutions moves into its next phase of growth, we’re focused on scaling responsibly in the environments where autonomy and regulation intersect. That requires not just breakthrough technology — but seasoned operators who understand the realities of deploying robotics in regulated, commercial settings.
Today, I’m proud to share that Brendan Stewart and Allan Evans have joined ADS as official advisors.
Brendan Stewart currently serves as SVP of Regulatory & Government Affairs at Red Cat Holdings and is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading voices in commercial drone policy and regulatory navigation. His experience engaging across FAA, enterprise customers, and government stakeholders gives us a sharper lens on where autonomy can operate today — and how the rules of tomorrow will be written.
Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines, brings deep experience building, scaling, and commercializing UAS technology in real-world, high-compliance industries. He understands the nuanced gap between a successful demo and a successful deployment — and has led multiple teams across that divide.
Brendan and Allan share our belief that the companies who succeed in drones and intelligent hardware won’t be the loudest — they’ll be the most disciplined, compliant, and commercially ready. Their guidance ensures that as our autonomy solutions expand — including NavDome — they do so with the trust of regulators, insurers, and enterprise customers.
Excited and grateful to have you both on this mission with us.
