Tactical Services Inc (OTCMKTS:TTSI) is the latest company that recently entered the exciting drone sector.We had a look at the market conditions and believe that the reaction to the news was very positive.Market participants know very well that the revenue could grow at a high pace from now on and reacted by purchasing the shares.Thus, in October, the amount of shares exchanged in the market increased largely after this business decision.The volume exchanged increased from below 1 million to more than 3 million shares some days.Have a look at the following chart and note the growing volume. We will explain the behavior of the share price in just a minute. 2 months chart for TTSIEntering the Drone SectorOn October 23, 2017, the company signed an agreement to acquire assets to develop the new business model. The following is the list of assets acquired. Please note that the company acquired know-how and trade secrets, which we believe is significant:

"Assets owned by Inventors relating to Inventor’s development, sales, marketing and distribution of Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (“UAV” or “Drones”) including but not limited to patents, trademarks, know-how, trade secrets, supply lists and other assets and intellectual property of any kind, relating directly or indirectly to the manufacturing, sales and distribution of the Drones."

On October 23, 2017, we could also see that the company elected a new CEO and a new CFO. We believe that new people were needed, as the business model had changed. The new executives hold expertise and knowledge of the new business, which we appreciate.The CEO, Thomas Li, is a graduate of Tsinghua University and is specialized in structural engineering and performance engineering. He is the co-inventor of all assets acquired by TTSI.Additionally, the CFO, Mr. Nathan Xian, is a graduate of Tsinghua University as well and has been involved since 2012 in the development of proprietary technology relating to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.How were new assets paid? The new assets were paid using 60,000,000 TACC shares. This explains the share price decline in November. In our opinion, we need to focus on the growing business model that the company is entering now. We believe that the future growth of the company will offset the share dilution.After the transaction, the company has a total of 82 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding.ProductsTactical Services, Inc. is specialized in "medium-sized, extended-duration unarmed aerial vehicles (UAVs) for surveillance, electronic information gathering, radio relaying, and target detection."The business strategy consists of filling the gap in the UAV market between expensive, high-operating-cost drones with weapon and surveillance capabilities and small, short-range "copter-style." We believe that it is a brilliant business decision.The following are different products that will be offered:

  • U300: Tactically, smallest UAV has a wingspan of 2.96 meters and an optimal flight altitude of 3,000 feet and is designed for primary missions of visual surveillance, radio operations, and laser targeting.
  • U500: Tactically, medium UAV has a wingspan of 5.15 meters and an optimal flight altitude of 5,000 feet and is designed for primary missions of visual surveillance, radio operations, laser targeting, and weather analysis.
  • U700: Tactically, medium UAV has a wingspan of 7.0 meters and an optimal flight altitude of 5,000 feet and is designed for primary missions of visual surveillance, radio operations, laser targeting, weather analysis, and underwater detection.
  • U900: Tactically, large UAV has a wingspan of 9.25 meters and an optimal flight altitude of 10000 and is designed for multiple primary missions of visual surveillance, radio operations, laser targeting, weather analysis and underwater detection.
