Ever wonder what makes the vehicles and robots in the U.S. military go? DRIVE Developments knows.The Sterling Heights-based firm specializes in diagnostics and controls for those types of vehicles. The company has turned this into a business with about a dozen people, up from just one person when it started a year ago. It has already hired two more so far this year.”We’re looking at doubling the size of our staff within the next year,” says Larry Osentowski, spokesman for DRIVE Developments. It has been able to do that by expanding its client base into different agencies in the U.S. Department of Defense.
