Insights
Draganfly's successful demonstration at T-REX 24-2 validates its drone technology for military applications, strengthening its market position.
Draganfly's participation in the prestigious T-REX 24-2 military technology exercise represents a significant validation of its drone capabilities in defense applications. Being one of only four companies selected to demonstrate FPV (First Person View) capabilities at this Department of Defense event indicates the company has earned recognition from military stakeholders.
The successful demonstration of two key platforms – the Commander 3XL with its universal tactical multidrop payload system and the Flex FPV Recon Drone with ultra-low-latency capabilities in GPS-denied environments – showcases Draganfly's technical competence in meeting specific military requirements. The ability to deploy third-party products on their platforms highlights their systems' versatility and interoperability – crucial factors in defense procurement decisions.
Particularly noteworthy is Draganfly's position as one of the few domestic drone manufacturers meeting Category One and Category Two requirements. This classification is strategically important as defense departments increasingly prioritize domestic suppliers for security-sensitive technologies, potentially giving Draganfly a competitive advantage in future procurement cycles.
The company's previous selection for defense-related projects, including tactical logistics systems for Defense Prime Contractors and landmine detection drones, demonstrates a growing track record in the defense sector. This successful demonstration at T-REX 24-2 builds upon that foundation and positions Draganfly to potentially secure additional defense contracts in a market that values proven field performance and domestic manufacturing capabilities.
Demonstrations validate Commander 3XL and Flex FPV capabilities in multi-domain defense operations at T-REX 24-2.
Camp Atterbury, Indiana, Sept. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an industry-leading developer of drone solutions and systems, successfully completed operational demonstrations of its Commander 3XL and Flex FPV drones with partner provider MMS Products as part of the U.S. Department of Defense Technology Readiness (T-REX) 24-2 exercise held from August 19–28 at Camp Atterbury, 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 Defense for Research and Engineering in collaboration with the Indiana National Guard.
T-REX 24-2 is a full-scale, multi-domain 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 successfully 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 ultra-low-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, CEO 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 One and Category Two domestic drone manufacturers to field an interoperable, modular, and payload-agnostic family of systems able to rapidly adapt to mission needs via end-user integration and in-field production and repair capabilities. The Draganfly Flex FPV, Apex, Commander, and Heavy Lift platforms are being deployed in collaboration with NATO-aligned defense partners to support multiple mission and capability profiles.
Previously, Draganfly has been selected for projects including the development of tactical logistics payload systems for Defense Prime Contractors, the creation of landmine detection drones in collaboration with SafeLane Global, and the deployment of medical delivery drones for frontline emergency response during conflict and disaster zones.
