As one of 13 finalists in a competition with over 400 applicants, Ian pitched the novel Halo UAV architecture as a solution to inspection of large Australian agricultural properties. After hearing 60-second pitches from thirteen companies, Iridium was chosen as one of five winners by Remo Giuffre, TEDxSydney CEO, Cathy Yuncken, General Manager at St. George, and Jack Delosa, founder of The Entourage.
Walking away with a novelty cheque, $25k, and most importantly a big smile, Irdium Dynamics are set to begin the next stages of prototype manufacturing, including tooling and materials for building a full hollow-moulded carbon fibre airframe.
