The United States (US) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has awarded AgEagle Aerial Systems a contract to deliver its eBee Vision fixed-wing drones and customized command and control software.
The capabilities must be developed in compliance with the US Department of Defense’s Robotic and Autonomous System-Air Interoperability Profile (RAS-A IOP).
RAS-A IOP is a ground control protocol to maintain standardized operations between different drone types approved for US federal agency deployment.
Throughout the project, AgEagle will connect its eBee drone with specific government networks.
About eBee VISION drone
The rugged eBee VISION drone delivers live, 4K-resolution video imagery from a distance of up to 12 miles, which is made possible by its powerful 32x zoom and thermal observation capabilities.
Its sensor payloads are designed to detect, track and geo-locate objects in both day and night conditions.
Offering up to 90 minutes of flight time and ease-of-use, the eBee VISION can be quickly deployed (in under three minutes) and operated by a single person.
Further, it weighs less than 3.5 pounds/1.6 kilograms and can be carried in a backpack, providing optimal mobility for military troops in tactical environments.
