Tampa, FL, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO; CSE: DPRO; FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions and systems developer, announced it will attend the upcoming Countering Explosives Conference hosted by Defence iQ. Together with Autonome Labs, Draganfly will highlight progress on the M.A.G.I.C (Mine and Ground Integrated Clearance) system, integrated on Draganfly’s Heavy Lift UAV, which is designed to modernize mine and route clearance operations.
