VOLATUS AEROSPACE AND DRAGANFLY EXPAND COLLABORATION TO SERVICE HIGH-VALUE GEOSPATIAL POWER UTILITY CUSTOMERS

Volatus Aerospace Inc. and Draganfly Inc. have struck a strategic collaboration to address rapidly growing global demand for the automation and digitization of geospatial data collection and analysis solutions for utility infrastructure. This teaming agreement builds on the previously announced collaboration agreement, harnessing Volatus's operational and regulatory capabilities, advanced sensor technology and Draganfly's advanced product, engineering, and integration capabilities.

This expanded collaboration will engage high-profile global power and infrastructure providers to enhance efficiency and safety in power utility solutions. By combining Volatus's extensive experience in power utility inspections and right-of-way management with Draganfly's product and engineering capabilities, the partnership is positioned to offer a strong competitive advantage to support large enterprise clients looking for an advanced end-to-end solution.

"As the demand for drone-based solutions continues to increase in multiple sectors, strategic collaborations are a key enabler to meet the diverse needs of clients without introducing unnecessary commercial risk," Glen Lynch, chief executive officer of Volatus Aerospace, stated. "Industries need more than products, they need solutions. By combining Draganfly's advanced product platform with Volatus's deep domain expertise and operational and regulatory capabilities, we can provide clients with a complete solution to their challenges."

"Partnering with Volatus Aerospace allows us to incorporate our advanced product platform of multiple interoperable drones into a complete solution for power utilities," Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly, commented. "The power utility industry is increasingly seeking advanced, safe, and efficient data acquisition methods, something we have designed from the ground up. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the complex demands of today's power utilities while enhancing our market reach."

In a recent report, Markets and Markets estimates that the global market for utility asset management, which includes inspection services among other components, is projected to grow to 4.09-billion (U.S.) by 2026. This growth is driven by the increasing investments in grid modernization activities, the need for efficient and reliable power supply, and the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid. The collaboration is expected to deliver enhanced value to an identified client(s) that will ultimately contribute to the modernization of infrastructure management.
