Wilhelm Meya is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AdlerAerospace, a defense technology company focused on advanced unmanned systems, counter-UAS solutions, and autonomous aerospace platforms for military, government, and critical infrastructure customers.

Since founding the company, Wilhelm has grown AdlerAerospace from an early-stage concept into an internationally recognized defense technology business working with government agencies, armed forces, prime contractors, and industry partners across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Under his leadership, the company has developed a diverse portfolio of autonomous systems ranging from heavy-lift UAVs and ISR platforms to next-generation AI-enabled counter-drone interceptor technologies.

AdlerAerospace’s platforms have been evaluated and demonstrated for a wide variety of operational missions, including logistics, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare, search and rescue, infrastructure support, and layered air defense. The company has established strategic relationships with leading technology providers while continuing to integrate best-in-class sensors, AI, communications, autonomy, and command-and-control systems into open, modular architectures.

Wilhelm’s approach has always emphasized practical engineering over theoretical concepts.
