Strengthening U.S. Military Drone Capabilities
Draganfly Inc. a developer of drone solutions and systems, has been selected by the U.S. Army to provide Flex FPV drone systems.
Under the initial order, Draganfly will deliver high-performance Flex FPV drones while also helping to establish on-site manufacturing within overseas U.S. Forces facilities. This initiative aims to accelerate drone deployment, strengthen supply chain resilience, and enhance readiness at the operational front.
Supporting Training And Secure Drone Production
In addition to drone delivery, Draganfly will provide flight and manufacturing training to Army personnel, enabling them to maintain and sustain drone operations. The Company will also oversee secure, NDAA-compliant logistics, ensuring that all components meet U.S. defense standards.
This partnership marks a major milestone in moving critical drone capabilities closer to the theater of operations, minimizing logistical challenges and enhancing operational efficiency for U.S. Forces.
FPV Drones Driving Tactical Innovation
Recent field exercises have highlighted the strategic value of FPV drone technology for modern warfare. During the Swift Response 2025 exercise in Lithuania, U.S. paratroopers operated self-built FPV drones against both vehicle-sized and dismounted targets. The unit has since established its own drone lab to drive design, training, and rapid innovation.
In August 2025, the U.S. Army achieved the first-ever air-to-air kill with an armed FPV drone—marking a groundbreaking advancement in drone warfare. Draganfly’s Embedded Manufacturing Program and Flex FPV systems directly align with this strategic shift toward decentralized and agile innovation.
