Aurora Flight Sciences Corp. of Manassas, Virginia and ESG Elektroniksystem-und Logistik GmbH of Fursetenfeldbruck, Germany announced at the ILA Berlin Air Show that they have entered into an agreement to work together on systems integrations with unmanned aerial systems in Germany. 



ESG’s experience with systems integration and Aurora’s unmanned aircraft, including its optionally piloted Centaur, gives both companies a chance to cooperate on several projects and services. 



"ESG is the recognized market-leader in Germany for expert knowledge and systems integration of complex systems," says Aurora CEO John Langford. "Whether cockpit upgrades or complex training systems, ESG has proven themselves to be able to execute world-class technology solutions.”



ESG CEO Kai Horten says, “We have identified some of Aurora's technologies and platforms as being ideal for meeting emerging requirements in Germany and even throughout Europe."
