CHALK 2, INC.

CHALK 2, INC. specializes in aerial support operations for unmanned aircraft systems, providing critical visual monitoring and situational awareness for remotely piloted aircraft during flight operations. Their core capability centers on manned chase aircraft missions that ensure the safety of non-participating airspace users by maintaining continuous visual scanning of the RPA’s flight path in all directions—front, rear, and lateral. This requires highly trained pilots with advanced aeronautical decision-making skills, real-time threat assessment capabilities, and deep familiarity with military airspace protocols, UAV operational envelopes, and air traffic coordination procedures. The company’s technical expertise lies in low-altitude visual surveillance, dynamic airspace deconfliction, and mission-critical communication coordination with ground control stations and air traffic authorities. CHALK 2, INC. has demonstrated direct experience supporting the Department of Defense, specifically in missions requiring close-in aerial escort for remotely piloted aircraft. Their work involves precise adherence to DoD flight safety standards, coordination with range control teams, and execution of mission profiles under strict operational security conditions. The relationship reflects a niche but essential role in RPA sustainment, where visual confirmation complements electronic surveillance systems to mitigate collision risks and ensure mission continuity. The contractor’s primary industry focus is in Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation (NAICS 481219), which encompasses ad hoc, mission-specific air services not covered by scheduled commercial or military transport. In practice, this means operating as a responsive, on-demand aviation provider for defense and aerospace missions requiring specialized aerial observation, not routine transit. Their market positioning is that of a precision support vendor in the unmanned systems ecosystem, filling a critical gap between autonomous flight systems and human-in-the-loop safety oversight. CHALK 2, INC. is a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified at the federal level, headquartered in Apple Valley, California. The company operates as a small, agile entity structured to deliver specialized aviation services with rapid deployment and mission adaptability, positioning itself as a trusted niche provider within the defense aviation support sector.
