DRAGANFLY AND AUTONOME LABS ANNOUNCE TEAMING AGREEMENT TO DELIVER UAV-BASED DEMINING MESH DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION

Draganfly Inc. has signed a strategic teaming agreement with Autonome Labs, a humanitarian tech innovator, to develop an integrated aerial deployment solution for MAGIC (mine and ground inert clearance), Autonome's groundbreaking mesh-based demining system.

The collaboration will pair Draganfly's heavy-lift drone platform with Autonome's MAGIC system to safely and efficiently deploy demining mesh designed to detonate and neutralize landmines across hazardous terrain. This joint solution enables rapid clearance of explosive threats, significantly reducing risk to human demining teams and accelerating the restoration of safe, usable land.

"This partnership reflects the best of what our technology is capable of, saving lives, rebuilding communities and bringing hope where it's needed most," said Cameron Chell, chief executive officer of Draganfly. "Working with Autonome Labs allows us to deliver real-world impact in some of the most challenging environments."

The heavy-lift drone platform, engineered for accuracy and high-capacity transport, will be adapted to support low-altitude, precision deployment of Autonome's smart mesh system.

"Our collaboration with Draganfly represents a critical step forward in the way autonomous technologies are deployed in high-risk environments," said Kyle Debanks, chief operating officer of Autonome Labs. "By combining our smart demining mesh system with Draganfly's proven drone platform, we're enabling a safer, more scalable solution for clearing dangerous terrain, ultimately protecting lives and restoring access to vital land."

Initial integration and testing will begin in 2025, with plans to pilot the system in postconflict regions later in the year.
