Tim I use to work in the hobby business in Southern California for about 9 years. One of my customers was the US Navy. Back in the 80's they were buying remote control units along with the engines for drones. It was amazing to hear and learn about at the time.
One of the other companies that was a customer of mine was the company that build the underwater robot that eventually found the remains of the Titanic.
Another company I sold unique parts to was working along with one of the military branches to develop some sort of strange thing like lazer eye surgery. I guess we all know how that one turned out.
The special effects companies? That is a whole other thread.
