DRAGANFLY SELECTED TO PROVIDE DRAGANFLY FLEX FPV DRONES AND TRAINING TO U.S. AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND UNITS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DELMAR AEROSPACE
Draganfly Inc. has received an award to provide Flex FPV (first-person-view) drones and training to U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command units with partner DelMar Aerospace Corp., a leading provider of advanced uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) training, tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) for U.S. government customers.
The partnership with DelMar brings together Draganfly's operationally proven uncrewed platforms with DelMar Aerospace's expertise in delivering cutting-edge, mission-relevant UAS instruction to government operators. Initial training activities include FPV UAS instruction, with a comprehensive curriculum covering FPV assembly, repair, flight operations, advanced mission planning and execution.
The award is to provide foundational FPV training with Draganfly Flex FPV drones to U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command units. Training will take place at DelMar Aerospace's Camp Pendleton UAS range training facility, a controlled environment purpose built to support advanced instruction that replicates a range of battlefield scenarios. The first training cohort is scheduled to begin in mid-February.
Draganfly's Flex FPV serves as the modular backbone for future small UAS configurations, uniquely capable of meeting evolving Department of War operational requirements. The Flex FPV's innovative design enables rapid transition across operating profiles, allowing a variety of flight characteristics and payload capacities to be deployed with a single unit. This adaptability enables widespread adoption through a common training and sustainment baseline while providing a unique and compelling value proposition to any tactical drone program.
"Our shared focus is on readiness and combat capability," said Cameron Chell, chief executive officer of Draganfly. "Partnering with DelMar Aerospace helps ensure operators are training on systems and tactics designed for real-world conditions, with the Flex's modularity and reliability required to adapt as missions and threats evolve."
DelMar Aerospace will lead instruction delivery, curriculum development and standards alignment, ensuring training remains tactically relevant while compliant with U.S. government contracting and security requirements.
"This collaboration is about developing operators who are prepared to employ uncrewed systems effectively in demanding environments," said Stanley Springer, DelMar Aerospace's chief operating officer. "Our focus is disciplined training grounded in combat-proven TTPs and operational realism."
This announcement reflects continuing work in support of U.S. government programs. Specific operational details are not being disclosed.
