The initial award covers a firm order for 100 UAS systems, including ground control stations, payloads, data links, support equipment, documentation, spare parts and training. Pricing for these initial systems is commercially sensitive and not disclosed. Under the agreement, Canada may, at its sole discretion, order up to an additional 4,900 systems, which would bring the total to 5,000 UAS if all options are exercised.
The contractual option for the additional 4,900 systems has an aggregate value of approximately C$24.25 million, subject to appropriate written authorizations. The contract also provides options for additional training and ongoing support, and follows Draganfly’s qualification in all five categories of Canada’s Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace.
Draganfly (DPRO) has appointed Colonel (Ret’d) Kevin Leblond as Vice-President, Canadian Defence and Security, to lead its Canadian military initiatives.

His past roles include Battle Director at the Combined Air Operations Centre with U.S. Central Command in Qatar, responsibility for Canadian joint operations in Europe and Ukraine, and four years as Canada’s lead defence negotiator at NATO in Brussels.

This status under a DDI Request for Supply Arrangement gives Draganfly a pathway to compete for contract opportunities supporting the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian Coast Guard in uncrewed and autonomous systems and related capabilities. The DDI, launched in July 2026 and led by the Department of National Defence and the Defence Investment Agency, is part of a broader plan for approximately $180 billion in direct defence procurement over the next decade and a $105 million national Drone Innovation Hub over three years.

According to Draganfly, this approval follows FAA evaluation of airworthiness, fail-safe engineering, risk‑mitigation protocols, and operational safety. The exemption allows Draganfly and authorized operators to conduct heavy‑payload missions for automated cargo delivery, disaster relief, defense logistics, infrastructure inspection, and specialized multi‑sensor deployments across U.S. airspace.
