Draganfly Inc., a North American drone technology company, has commenced the delivery of its Flex FPV (First Person View) drone systems to a major U.S. military prime contractor. The delivery supports land systems operations for allied forces and represents a key step in the company's expansion within defence markets.

The Flex FPV system features a modular core design, enabling operators to change arm and propeller configurations within seconds and without specialised tools. This allows the same Flex Core unit to adapt to diverse mission needs, including reconnaissance, training, and tactical payload delivery.

With a top speed exceeding 149 kilometres per hour, the drone supports both traditional FPV piloting and autonomous waypoint navigation. It can carry payloads of up to 10 pounds using picatinny rails or custom mounts, offering high agility in complex environments.

“This delivery marks an important milestone for the Flex FPV platform,” said Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly. “The system was born out of our work supporting frontline operations in Ukraine and has been refined through rigorous testing by multiple defence partners. We’re incredibly proud to see it deployed by one of the world’s top defence contractors.”

Launched in 2024, the Flex FPV has been evaluated by various defence and public safety organisations for a wide range of applications. The current order includes both core units and modular accessories tailored to the specific operational requirements of the end user.

Draganfly reports increasing demand across defence and public safety sectors for adaptable, domestically developed unmanned aerial systems. The company’s solutions aim to meet the fast-changing challenges of modern military and security operations.
