AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVAV) reported financial results for its first quarter ending July 30, 2011.

“First quarter revenue of $62.0 million rose by 62% over last year, and diluted earnings per share of $0.01 increased from a loss of $0.16. Reflecting continued demand for our small unmanned aircraft systems, the $65.5 million contract for Puma systems we announced in August provides us with more visibility into full year revenue than at the same point in previous years,” said Tim Conver, AeroVironment chairman and chief executive officer. “Similar demand in our efficient energy systems segment drove shipments and the capture of new contracts across all product lines.”

Conver added, “I believe our UAS products and services offering will be increasingly relevant to our customers in the Department of Defense funding-constrained environment we are likely to face in the future, and our EV Solutions will help support the broad adoption and practical use of electric vehicles. By anticipating market requirements with innovative, high-value solutions that do more for much less, and by supporting our customers as they adopt these solutions, we continue to help customers win while growing our business.”

Agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense and allied military services use the company’s battery-powered, hand-launched unmanned aircraft systems extensively to provide situational awareness to tactical operating units through real-time, airborne reconnaissance, surveillance and communication.

There are many ways to use biomass to create energy, depending on the original plant or animal material. The oldest method is direct burning of material grown specifically for that use such as wood and bagasse (crushed sugar cane). Another technique is to burn waste material rather than leave it in landfill sites (or, alternatively, recycle it). This includes material such as urban refuse, industrial waste, agricultural and animal residues, wood chips, and sewage sludge. Biomass can be used for heating or generating electricity or both (CHP - combined heat and power).
