Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / October 16, 2017 - Global UAV Technologies Ltd. (CSE: UAV, OTC: YRLLF, FSE: YAB2) (the “Company” or “Global UAV”) is pleased to announce that it has been chosen by the Fallen American Veterans Foundation, Inc. (“FAVF”) to provide survey services and custom UAV solutions to aid in their efforts to search and recover U.S. Military Personnel Missing in Action (MIA) worldwide. Global UAV will commit the availability of its specialized UAV-MAGTM system and other technology and equipment to assist in the search and recovery of the missing aircraft and their crews. FAVF has received funding and logistics support for its search and recovery efforts from both private donors, the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The first search and recovery project will be focused on locating a US Coast Guard J2F-4 Grumman Duck which crashed in a remote area of Greenland on the 29th of November 1942, and is now covered in ice.

This organization puts real efforts and resources onto the ground to “Honor the Promise” of “Leave No Man Behind” that applies to all U.S Military Personnel Missing in Action.
