MW AIRLIFT™ is a Raleigh-based drone operations services company focused on aerial field technology and documentation. It deploys trained technicians, aerial systems, sensors, and AI-assisted workflows to capture, verify, and deliver trusted records of physical assets, sites, and events. The record is the product. The drone, the sensors, and the AI are the tools that produce it. Canopy verification inside MW AIRLIFT™ AIRWORKS is the trust layer that makes the record defensible. One accountable platform with an NDAA-compliant operating model spanning federal, commercial, healthcare, and emergency management.
One accountable platform with an NDAA-compliant operating model spanning federal, commercial, healthcare, and emergency management — Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award. Drone inspection and documentation, plus connected-sensor monitoring (IoT) for cold-chain compliance — flown by FAA Part 107 certified pilots, artificial intelligence (AI) analyzed and certified-pilot verified. Every mission produces a sealed record anyone can verify.
Our primary service area is North Carolina, including the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), Eastern NC, coastal NC, and rural and tribal communities. For federal contract work and disaster response subcontracts, we are headquartered in Raleigh, NC and deployable nationwide.

MW AIRLIFT's status is SBA 8(a) — Building Eligibility. The U.S. Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program serves firms owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Once certified, the program gives federal agencies authority to award sole-source contracts through the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program, which dramatically shortens procurement timelines for both the agency and the operator. MW AIRLIFT operates under an NDAA-compliant operating model — Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV), acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award (SBA 8(a) — Building Eligibility).
NDAA Section 848 of the National Defense Authorization Act prohibits federal agencies from buying or operating drones, components, or software produced in covered foreign countries — primarily China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. To meet the requirement, an aircraft must appear on the U.S. Department of Defense's Blue UAS Cleared List. The Parrot ANAFI USA GOV is on that list; DJI aircraft are not. MW AIRLIFT’s federal fleet: Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award. Federal contracts and any state, local, or tribal work involving federal funding are reserved for Fleet A, protected by our dual-fleet firewall from the commercial inspection fleet.
The American Security Drone Act, signed into law in December 2023 and with its transition period ended December 22, 2025, prohibits federal agencies — and any state, local, or tribal entity using federal grant funds — from purchasing or operating drones from covered foreign manufacturers. In practical terms, this means county health departments, state agencies, and emergency management offices that touch federal dollars must use NDAA-compliant operators. MW AIRLIFT runs an NDAA-compliant operating model — Fleet A.
DJI is headquartered in China and falls under the foreign-entity restrictions of NDAA Section 848 and the American Security Drone Act. Federal agencies and any federally-funded entity are prohibited from operating DJI hardware on covered work. MW AIRLIFT maintains a written dual-fleet compliance firewall: federal and federally-funded engagements are structured under our NDAA-compliant operating model — Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV), acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award, and a separate commercial fleet is used only for purely private-sector inspections — never on federal jobs.
