Re:
UAS Drone Corp. (the “Company”)
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed April 30, 2020
File No. 333-237927
Dear Ms. Purnell :
The purpose of this letter is to respond to
the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission as set forth in your letter of May 11, 2020, regarding the above referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the
“Registration Statement”). For your convenience, your original comments appear in bold, followed by our response.
General
1. We note your registration statement covers the offer and sale of common stock to be issued to
certain stockholders of Duke upon the consummation of a short-form merger agreement. It appears you may have commenced this
transaction privately, on or about April 29, 2020, when you executed the merger agreement. Please note that a transaction
commenced privately cannot be converted to a registered offering. Please refer to Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations
Question 134.02.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges
that, pursuant to Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (“CD&I”) Question 134.02, a
private offering may not be converted into a registered offering. For the reasons set forth below, the Company did not commence
a private offering relating to the shares issuable to certain Duke stockholders pursuant to the short-form merger agreement and
believes the primary offering to certain stockholders of Duke (the “Duke Primary Offering Stockholders”), as contemplated
by the Registration Statement, is the sole offering of such securities (the “Primary Offering”). Such interpretation
is consistent with the Company’s discussions with the Staff prior to the filing of the Registration Statement.
On March 9, 2020, the Company
closed on a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which Duke became a majority-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). Certain stockholders of Duke were a party to the Share Exchange but
none of those stockholders are the Duke Primary Offering Stockholders. The Share Exchange closed on March 9, 2020, and as a result
of such closing, the Company adopted the business plan of Duke.

With respect to the Registration
Statement, immediately prior to its filing, on April 29, 2020, the Company, Duke and UAS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
and a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“UAS Sub”), executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which UAS Sub intends to be merged with and into Duke, with Duke surviving as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the “Short-Form Merger”). Importantly, none of the Duke Primary Offering Stockholders were
solicited to approve or execute the Merger Agreement and neither the Company, nor Duke or UAS Sub discussed or otherwise disclosed
to the Duke Primary Offering Stockholders the fact that the Merger Agreement was being negotiated or executed. In addition, none
of the Duke Primary Offering Stockholders reviewed the Registration Statement or knew it was being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, prior to its filing. Finally, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the agreement contemplates a
closing only upon the consummation of the Primary Offering, thus providing further evidence that no private placement offering
was ever contemplated. Therefore, the Company does not believe an offering was ever commenced or conducted prior to the filing
of the Registration Statement, whether publicly or privately.
For the foregoing
reasons, we believe that no private transaction with respect to the Duke Primary Offering Stockholders was ever commenced and consequently
CD&I 134.02 is not relevant under the current circumstances.
Please do not hesitate to call the Company’s
counsel, Ron Ben-Bassat, of Sullivan & Worcester LLP, at (212) 660-5003 with any questions or further comments you may have
regarding this letter.
