FMS Aerospace

Today, we would like to take a moment to recognize and thank one of our outstanding employees, Brian Schuster, for his dedication, leadership, and countless contributions to FMS Aerospace over the past 8 years.

During his time with us, Brian has served as Head of Operations in Huntsville and as a Design Engineer, playing an instrumental role in the growth and success of our company. His leadership, professionalism, and commitment to excellence have made a lasting impact on both our team and our customers.

Brian has also served as Program Manager on several of our key contracts, helping guide critical projects to success through his hard work, problem-solving abilities, and unwavering dedication. His willingness to step up, support others, and go above and beyond has never gone unnoticed.

We truly appreciate all of the sacrifices, long hours, and effort Brian has given to help make FMS Aerospace not only a successful company, but also a great place to work. His positive influence and contributions have helped shape the culture and success of our organization in so many ways.

The entire FMS family will greatly miss Brian, both professionally and personally. Thank you for everything you have done for our team, and our company. We wish you nothing but continued success, and happiness.

FMS Aerospace, the engineering division of Bridger Aerospace, is proud to support the next generation of aerospace innovation.

We recently donated two Aurora Skiron X unmanned aircraft systems to Auburn University, providing students and faculty with hands-on experience in cutting-edge aerospace technology. These systems will support programs across engineering, aviation, science, and agriculture, helping to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application.

This partnership is especially meaningful to us, with several members of our team representing the Auburn family, including Mike Phillips (Physics/Engineering, Class of 1988), Jacob Childs (Aerospace Engineering, Class of 2024), and Noah Phillips (Business Analytics, Class of 2025, MS Information Systems 2027).

We’re grateful for the strong turnout at the donation ceremony and for the leadership that helped make this collaboration possible.
At Bridger Aerospace, we are committed to advancing innovation and continuously evolving to meet the demands of the future.
