AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. has secured a purchase order to deliver 20 eBee VISION full-stack systems to a leading distributor in the United Arab Emirates. This contract, valued at approximately $2 million, includes control systems, batteries, backpacks, and limited spares, and is set for the fiscal year 2024. The company, known for its expertise in drones, specialty cameras, and control software, delivers fully integrated systems combining sensors, aircraft, robotic technologies, and control systems.
CEO Bill Irby highlighted the global need for enhanced public safety and security, noting that this deal supports a government customer with top-tier UAV defense solutions for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. This contract underscores AgEagle's growing influence in the defense sector and its capability to meet stringent security requirements.
The announcement comes on the heels of another significant milestone for AgEagle. Recently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) completed training for National Guardsmen using AgEagle's eBee TAC drone. This drone, which is NDAA-compliant, is the first fixed-wing UAV to be included in the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Blue UAS list and cleared to fly over humans. Such achievements reinforce AgEagle's position as a key player in the military and security sectors.
AgEagle aims to sustain its growth within the military domain while continuing to support its established customer base in agriculture and other civil sectors. The company's primary goal for the remainder of the year and into 2025 is to fulfill customer commitments and further develop strategic plans.
