Governor Boyd Rutherford joined with SURVICE Engineering Co., a Belcamp, Md.-based defense firm, and U.K.-based Malloy Aeronautics, an aeronautical engineering firm, to announce that the two companies have teamed up on the development of Hoverbike technology for the U.S. Department of Defense. SURVICE and Malloy are working on the Hoverbike as part of an ongoing research and development contract with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The Hoverbike is being developed to operate as a new class of Tactical Reconnaissance Vehicle (TRV).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h7aIXvyBC64?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As part of this strategic alliance, Malloy Aeronautics has also announced that they have established a U.S. office in Belcamp adjacent to Aberdeen Proving Ground to complete work on the Hoverbike. A model of the Hoverbike is on display at the Paris Air Show, which runs through June 21.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased to join with SURVICE Engineering and Malloy Aeronautics to announce their partnership on the Hoverbike, which represents a new frontier in aviation,\u201d said Lt. Governor Rutherford. \u201cWe are also very excited to welcome Malloy and look forward to working with them to grow their operations in Maryland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstablishing an office in Maryland was a clear business decision,\u201d said Chris Malloy, managing director of Malloy Aeronautics. \u201cThe proximity to the Army Research Laboratory and U.S. defense decision makers, access to the world-class facilities through the laboratory\u2019s Open Campus initiative, and the co-location with our strategic business partner, SURVICE Engineering, were all factors in favor of Maryland as the best choice for Malloy Aeronautics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaryland companies do a tremendous amount of research and development (R&amp;D) for the U.S. military,\u201d said Jeff Foulk, SURVICE chief executive officer. \u201cIf there is a new military technology being developed, there\u2019s a good chance that some aspect was designed, built or tested in Maryland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With about 400 employees, SURVICE is a specialty engineering firm that has been providing R&amp;D support for the U.S. Department of Defense and other industry sectors for more than 30 years. Formed in 2012, Malloy Aeronautics is an entrepreneurial aerospace company that develops, markets, and sells drones and Hoverbike technology to commercial and military markets.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is the nation\u2019s premier laboratory for land forces and is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, which has the mission to develop technology and engineering solutions for America\u2019s Soldiers.\u00a0 RDECOM is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command.<\/p>\n<p>===<\/p>\n<p>Find more videos of the Hoverbike project at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCZ6vwUofDSeG1ECnyNm1EKA\" target=\"_d\">MalloyHoverbike&#8217;s channel &#8211; YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a video of a test of flight of their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hover-bike.com\/MA\/product\/drone-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">Drone 3<\/a>\u00a01\/3 scale version, which was funded with the help of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1524806320\/hoverbike\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter campaign<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d5kl2yANM6U?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malloy Aeronautics\u00a0of the UK and\u00a0SURVICE Engineering Company\u00a0in the state of Maryland\u00a0are teaming on development of the Malloy Hoverbike under a US Army\u00a0grant.
