local company bids defense contract
The Washington Post reports that just about every company that can slap together a proposal to help with the dangers of roadside bombs is doing so. This includes St. Petersburg-based Octatron, Inc.
I have never heard of Octatron. Basically they are a local provider of wireless camera and sophisticated surveillance systems. We found a photo set of one of their products, the SkySeer drone, being tested by the Los Angeles County Sherriff. The company website seems to be a portal to buy products produced by other companies.
I would guess that Octatron is a pretty small outfit. Searching Sunbiz.org indicates they are not actually incorporated in Florida. But like I said, with millions of dollars up for grabs, everybody who can put together a reasonable package is doing so.
Good luck Octatron, Inc. whoever you are!
