Draganfly completes Commander, Flex drone demos

Mr. Cameron Chell reports DRAGANFLY DEMONSTRATES THE COMMANDER 3XL AND FLEX FPV CAPABILITIES AT T-REX 24-2 MILITARY TECHNOLOGY EXERCISE Draganfly Inc. has completed operational demonstrations of its Commander 3XL and Flex FPV drones with partner provider MMS Products as part of the U.S. Department of Defence technology readiness (T-REX) 24-2 exercise held from Aug. 19 to Aug. 28 at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. Draganfly was one of only four companies invited to conduct live demonstrations of FPV capabilities during the week-long exercise, which was organized by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defence for Research and Engineering in collaboration with the Indiana National Guard. T-REX 24-2 is a full-scale, multidomain experimentation event that provides a realistic operational environment for companies invited to showcase cutting-edge technologies that meet urgent warfighter needs. Draganfly's participation included two key platforms: the Commander 3XL UAS, which deployed multiple third party products using its universal tactical multidrop payload system, reinforcing Draganfly's impact as a force multiplier; and the Flex FPV Recon drone, which demonstrated ultralow-latency, close-quarters aerial intelligence in GPS-denied and constrained environments. The FPV system was also used for live over-the-shoulder support and target acquisition for allied forces in simulated operations. "T-REX 24-2 was an important validation of our UAV systems under operational stress," said Cameron Chell, chief executive officer of Draganfly. "Our Commander 3XL and Flex FPV drones showcased the critical versatility and survivability that modern missions demand." This marks a milestone as Draganfly has emerged as one of the few Category 1 and Category 2 domestic drone manufacturers to field an interoperable, modular and payload-agnostic family of systems able to rapidly adapt to mission needs through end-user integration and infield production and repair capabilities. The Draganfly Flex FPV, Apex, Commander and Heavy Lift platforms are being deployed in collaboration with North Atlantic Treaty Organization-aligned defence partners to support multiple mission and capability profiles. Previously, Draganfly has been selected for projects including the development of tactical logistics payload systems for defence prime contractors, the creation of landmine detection drones in collaboration with SafeLane Global, and the deployment of medical delivery drones for front line emergency response during conflict and disaster zones.
