Proxy Technologies Inc. designed, developed and supplied optionally-piloted aircraft and multi-aircraft cooperative flight control systems for the U.S. government and the commercial sector.

Proxy Technology systems have been used in various applications including: Homeland Security, Coastal Surveillance, Border Patrols, Drug Interdiction, Aerial Mapping, and Natural Disaster Humanitarian Relief.
Ross Dove, CEO of Heritage Global remarked, "Proxy Technology's Intellectual Property should be an excellent fit for existing Drone firms, Fortune 500 Defense companies, Venture Capital, Private Equity and Technology Accelerators active in the Drone space as well as those seeking entrée to that market segment. The buyer of these patents will leapfrog the competition by capitalizing on the time, money and research that went into creating this patent portfolio."
"In addition to the portfolio's civilian and commercial applications, this Drone patent portfolio should be a very attractive proposition to firms doing business with or seeking to do business with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the US Border Patrol and Coast Guard, and all their international governmental counterparts," added Doug Berman, Director of Heritage Global Patents & Trademarks.
