Deployment Supports Embedded Manufacturing and Training to Strengthen Military Readiness
Draganfly Inc. announced its selection by the U.S. Army to supply Flex FPV drone systems.
Under the initial order, Draganfly will deliver high-performance Flex FPV drones and assist in establishing on-site manufacturing of these drones at overseas U.S. Forces facilities. This initiative aims to accelerate deployment, strengthen supply chain security, and enhance operational agility.
The company will also provide flight and manufacturing training to enable Army personnel to maintain operations independently. Additionally, Draganfly will manage logistics to ensure a secure, NDAA-compliant supply chain — a critical step toward supporting decentralized drone innovation and front-line readiness.
Supporting Advanced FPV Capabilities
Recent military exercises have highlighted the strategic importance of FPV technology. During Swift Response 2025 in Lithuania, U.S. paratroopers operated and detonated in-house-built FPV drones against both dismounted and vehicle-sized targets. The Army also established its own drone lab to foster rapid design, testing, and deployment capabilities.
In August 2025, the U.S. Army achieved a historic milestone — the first-ever air-to-air kill using an armed FPV drone. Draganfly’s Embedded Manufacturing Program and Flex FPV systems align directly with this push toward agile, decentralized drone operations.
“We are honored to support the U.S. Army as it moves critical drone capabilities closer to front lines,” said Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly.
“By combining advanced Flex FPV systems, embedded manufacturing, and training, we are reinforcing operational agility and ensuring personnel have the tools and capabilities they need when and where they need them most.”
