AeroShield Alliance establishes Mississippi headquarter

BT Brands (BTBD) announced that its proposed merger partner, Aero Velocity Inc. and its fellow AeroShield Alliance members, are establishing a Mississippi headquarters, expanding the footprint in infrastructure technology and positioning the consortium to scale its public-sector solutions platform. The expansion is expected to accelerate the deployment of the Alliance’s and Aero Velocity’s AI-driven infrastructure analytics and drone-based data collection capabilities across state and local government markets, while supporting workforce development and enabling broader access to large-scale infrastructure inspection and monitoring opportunities. The initiative represents a significant opportunity to expand access to advanced technology and workforce development in rural Mississippi through partnerships with Holmes Community College and local government leaders. Alliance member firms have collectively secured more than $100M in government contracts, serving agencies including the U.S. Department of War, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Intelligence Community, and the U.S. Forest Service.
