AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. has announced a significant new contract, marking its expanding footprint in the military and security sectors. The company will supply 20 eBee VISION full-stack systems, inclusive of control systems, batteries, backpacks, and limited spares, to a leading distributor in the United Arab Emirates. This deal, valued at approximately $2 million for the fiscal year 2024, underscores AgEagle's strategic push into global defense markets.
CEO Bill Irby highlighted the importance of this contract, noting that it reflects the global need for advanced public safety and security solutions. The systems will support a government customer in the UAE, providing top-tier UAV defense solutions for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. This development demonstrates AgEagle's commitment to delivering integrated systems that combine sensors, aircraft, robotic technologies, and control systems.
This announcement comes shortly after another milestone for AgEagle: the successful training of National Guardsmen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) using AgEagle's eBee TAC drone. The eBee TAC, which is compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), is the first fixed-wing UAV to be included in the Defense Innovation Unit's (DIU) Blue UAS list, making it cleared to fly over humans. This achievement further solidifies AgEagle's reputation as a trusted provider of advanced UAV solutions for military applications.
As AgEagle looks to the future, the company aims to continue its growth in the military sector while also supporting its longstanding customers in agriculture and other civil domains. The primary focus for the remainder of the year and into 2025 will be to fulfill customer commitments and advance strategic plans. This dual approach ensures that AgEagle remains a versatile and reliable player in both military and civilian markets.
