Over the last year, activists, community members, and, most recently, one state senator have called upon the BNY to evict Easy Aerial and Crye Precision. For weeks, Hyperallergic has followed members of the group Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard, a coalition of activists and community members demanding that the public-owned building evict Easy Aerial and Crye Precision. Protesters accused Easy Aerial of manufacturing “genocidal drones” for the Israeli military. Crye Precision was founded in 2000 by Cooper Union alumni Caleb Crye and Gregg Thompson. Crye Precision denies having any contracts with the Israeli military or manufacturers.
