DRAGANFLY'S COMMANDER 3XL INTEGRATED WITH TB2 AEROSPACE'S DROPS SYSTEM ACHIEVES 100% SUCCESS RATE DURING U.S. ARMY'S SMEX25 OPERATIONAL TRIALS

TB2 Aerospace LLC, in collaboration with Draganfly Inc., has deployed the Drone Recharging Operational Payload System (DROPS) during the U.S. Army's Sustainment Modernization Experiment 2025 (SMEX25).

Throughout SMEX25's week-long field exercises, the DROPS system, integrated with Draganfly's Commander 3XL, achieved a 100-per-cent success rate in autonomously deploying, recovering and recharging TB2's tactical resupply pods. The event provided an opportunity to validate real-world operational performance in austere and high-demand scenarios, drawing praise from defence evaluators and technology observers alike.

"The successful deployment of DROPS at SMEX25 underscores our commitment to advancing autonomous logistics solutions," said Hank Scott, chief executive officer of TB2 Aerospace. "Our system's performance in a live operational environment validates its potential to revolutionize military tactical resupply and contested logistics."

He added, "The successful integration of the Commander 3XL and DROPS in support of the U.S. Army's mission is a great example of the advantage we strive to bring to our partners and their stakeholders."

Key capabilities demonstrated:

• Autonomous payload operations: The Commander 3XL, enabled with DROPS, autonomously captured, transported and delivered payloads without any manual intervention, streamlining tactical resupply and significantly reducing the need for human logistics support in the field.
• Platform agnosticism: DROPS functioned seamlessly across various platforms, confirming its plug-and-play versatility, with special emphasis on its integration with Draganfly's Commander 3XL platform. The Draganfly 3XL is now DROPS Enabled, whilst the smaller Draganfly Apex and the larger Heavy Lift are in the process of becoming DROPS Enabled.
