AgEagle unveils advanced drone software for defense, commercial use

WICHITA, Kan. - AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a micro-cap drone technology company currently valued at $8.2 million, has announced the release of its eBee VISION 2.1.0 application software, which introduces enhanced mapping capabilities and situational awareness features. This update is aimed at offering tactical advantages to its defense and commercial customers globally. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company faces significant financial challenges with a weak overall financial health score, operating at a gross profit margin of 47.3%.

The new software version for the eBee VISION drone includes high-definition real-time video surveillance and supports both circular and grid mapping, enabling the creation of 2D or 3D maps with external post-processing software. One of the key advancements is the drone’s ability to continue missions in environments where the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is denied. This feature allows for manual deactivation of GNSS to prevent potential jamming or spoofing, positioning the eBee VISION as a robust option in GNSS-compromised situations.

Compliance with the STANAG 4609 standard, a NATO format for motion imagery exchange, is another significant enhancement. This compliance ensures interoperability with third-party applications, which is particularly important for military-grade drones.

Additionally, the eBee VISION’s software now allows for manual adjustment of the landing position on the map in cases of Silent Tactical Landing (STL), providing users with range estimates to gauge the drone’s reach and offering a tactical advantage.

AgEagle CEO Bill Irby expressed that the latest application software represents a significant leap in innovation and user experience for the eBee VISION, emphasizing the flexibility and operational efficiency it brings to their enhanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance technology product portfolio.

Founded in 2010, AgEagle initially focused on drones for the agriculture industry but has since expanded its offerings to serve a variety of sectors, including energy, construction, and government.

The company has cautioned that certain statements may be forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties, advising that actual results could differ from those projected.

In other recent news, AgEagle Aerial Systems announced a new funding agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt. This agreement involves Alpha investing an additional $1,000,000 in AgEagle’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, with commitments for quarterly financing over the next year. AgEagle has also completed a record $3.4 million order for the French Army, delivering its eBee VISION systems designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications. In another development, AgEagle expanded its authorized common stock capacity from 5 million to 200 million shares following shareholder approval. The company also secured a milestone sale of 60 RedEdge-P Multispectral Sensors to an East Asian reseller, marking the largest single sensor order in its history. Additionally, AgEagle’s eBee VISION UAS underwent testing by the U.S. Department of Defense, potentially opening doors for future procurement opportunities.
