Draganfly's systems executed long-endurance flight missions across complex terrain along the U.S.-Mexico border, demonstrating real-world capabilities in surveillance, emergency response, apprehension support, and secure communications.
The Outrider Border Drone is a North-American-built, NDAA-compliant platform purpose-engineered for rugged, mission-critical border environments.
Core specifications include up to 100 lb payload capacity and up to 7 hours of continuous flight time, advanced imaging, AI-enabled sensing, and secure real-time communications and seamless integration with Draganfly's portfolio of NDAA-compliant systems, including the Flex FPV, Apex, Commander III, and Heavy Lift platforms.
The live operations generated strong interest from Federal and State agencies, county and municipal law enforcement departments, and U.S. military observers.
The company said that several agencies are now engaged in ongoing discussions around procurement pathways, deployment models, and distribution partnerships utilizing existing grant allocations and public-safety budgets.
