“Amazon-Like” System Provides Army with Way to Rapidly Acquire Advanced Unmanned Systems
ALLEN, Texas, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (dba, EagleNXT) (the “Company” or “EagleNXT”) (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of full stack drone systems, counter-drone systems, and sensor solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, today announced that its eBee VISION unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is now an active listing for purchase by the U.S. Army on their newly launched UAS Marketplace.
The UAS Marketplace, launched on March 24, 2026, is a digital platform developed in partnership with Amazon Web Services and the Army Enterprise Cloud Management Agency. It serves as an “Amazon-like” storefront that enables Army units, government agencies, the Pentagon and other U.S. military branches, and allied nations to easily compare vetted drone systems, submit feedback, and place orders directly. The initiative aims to accelerate procurement, foster competition and innovation, lower barriers for industry partners, and deliver advanced capabilities to Soldiers at greater speed and scale.
“The Army’s marketplace allows us to quickly take orders and deliver a high volume of blue-listed, reliable, high-performance ISR capability to the warfighter,” said Bill Irby, CEO of EagleNXT. “We are proud to be a part of the Army’s forward-looking approach to rapid capability acquisition.”
The inclusion of the eBee VISION on the Marketplace allows authorized buyers to review detailed specifications, compare capabilities with other systems, and leverage soldier feedback to inform future acquisitions, supporting the Army’s goals of agility, competition, and rapid technology insertion. EagleNXT continues to expand its defense portfolio, with the eBee VISION building on prior successful deliveries to U.S. Army units and international partners.
The eBee VISION is a lightweight, backpack-portable, hand-launched fixed-wing ISR drone optimized for real-time situational awareness in dynamic and challenging environments. Key features include:
- Rapid 3-minute deployment and single-operator control, day or night
- Up to 90-minute endurance with real-time HD video transmission (including thermal imagery) and up to 32x digital zoom
- Long-range connectivity (up to 12 miles / 20 km)
- Blue UAS Cleared and NDAA-compliant design with secure encryption, meeting stringent U.S. government supply-chain security standards
- Robust performance in GNSS-denied environments, low acoustic signature, and operation in temperatures from -10°C to +49°C
Manufactured with U.S. security requirements in mind, the eBee VISION is already in use by U.S. Army units for training, operator proficiency, and operational missions, including recent deliveries to units in Europe. The company is opening a manufacturing line for the VISION system in Texas in May, further streamlining the acquisition and delivery process for Department of War customers.
