Kasey Cooper

Kasey Cooper has spent the last 16 years supporting DoD activities in a variety of roles with an emphasis on radio communication, sensor operations, and manufacturing and operations of unmanned systems. Mr. Cooper graduated Western Michigan University in 2007 with a Broadcast Operations Degree with a goal to support sports broadcasting, but was quickly picked up by a small defense firm to become an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operator, supporting Joint Task Force-North (JTF-N) operations as the aerial operator on drug interdiction missions. These missions were in direct support of US Customs and Border Patrol operations (CBP). From there, he moved on to UAV Solutions as the Director of Engineering and R&D, supporting NAVAIR 4.5x SSP integration and operations. There he led the efforts for designs and manufacturing of everything from SUAS to 1000 lb airframes. In 2016, Mr. Cooper came aboard at Silvus Technologies as their 25th employee and Sr. Director of Unmanned Systems. Kasey helped shape the UAS direction of Silvus, turning Unmanned systems sales into one of its largest business divisions, winning numerous programs of record and making Silvus the “gold standard” in terrestrial communications for UAS. His most recent role was the Senior Vice President of Domo Tactical, where he helped shift the direction of the US operations to a more DoD and UAS focused company, building off the international presence DTC has had for nearly 30 years in the terrestrial communications space. Kasey’s background has given him an “end-users mindset” with the manufacturing & business leadership experience to help a company thrive in the UAS and Comms space.
