The impressive run follows one of the company’s largest investor Dr. Philip Frost expressing his confidence on the appointment of a new chairman Jay H. Nussbaum. However, the company faces mounting pressure on the level of dilution of its common stock.
Stock Dilution Concerns

The company already provides aerial, land-based surveillance and communications services to both the government and commercial customers.
Management Shakeup

Nussbaum joins DRONE AVIATION HOLDI (OTCMKTS:DRNE) having already completed a $1 million Series G Preferred Stock financing and will work closely with Dr. Frost on the Strategic advisory board.
