Regent has named four retired military officers who will advise the company on efforts to identify national security use cases and market opportunities for its seaglider technology.
They will serve as inaugural members of Regent’s defense advisory board to help shape a strategy for bringing its flagship Viceroy seaglider product to the market, the Rhode Island-based company said Monday.
Viceroy is designed to carry a dozen passengers or 3500 pounds of cargo and offer a runway independent, electric-powered transportation platform for littoral operations.
Regent’s newly appointed advisers will work to hone the system’s defense applications.
The board members are:
- Michael Dana, former deputy commandant of installations and logistics at U.S. Marine Corps
- Robert Neller, former USMC commandant
- Charles Ray, former vice commandant at the U.S. Coast Guard
- George Trautman, former USMC deputy commandant of aviation
