  • Draganfly and F4 Defense International said they were selected by DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory for an initial development contract.
  • The work focuses on an integrated, multi-layered, modular and rapid-deployable counter-UAS system.
  • This is a defense R&D award signal for layered counter-drone systems rather than a standalone drone product launch.

Draganfly develops UAV systems, drone services, sensors, software, and custom unmanned-system solutions for public safety, defence, industrial inspection, mapping, agriculture, humanitarian response, and enterprise use. One of the older commercial drone manufacturers with roots in early multirotor systems.
