AgEagle Aerial Systems Partners with Israeli firm to Advance AI-Powered Autonomous Drone Teaming

Integration of AI-driven software with eBee VISION drones through a strategic partnership to demonstrate fully autonomous, coordinated unmanned operations

WICHITA, Kan., July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, today announces the upcoming demonstration of AI-enabled autonomous Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) teaming, developed through a strategic partnership with an Israeli defense/technology firm. The system is designed for use in border security, surveillance, and intrusion detection missions and will showcase advanced autonomous capabilities with minimal human intervention while delivering real-time operational intelligence.

The joint effort integrates AgEagle’s eBee VISION drones with partner-developed AI-powered mission planning and autonomous control tools, enabling the drones to operate as a cohesive, intelligent unit. The system leverages adaptive algorithms and decentralized decision-making within a “system of systems” architecture that dynamically adjusts to mission conditions in real time. This integration is expected to significantly enhance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) effectiveness by delivering actionable data with increased speed and precision.

“Our advanced eBee VISION drones equipped with cutting-edge AI algorithms will demonstrate during ISR exercises that our drones can operate with minimal human control while transmitting reliable, highly detailed imagery in real time to achieve mission objectives,” said Bill Irby, CEO of AgEagle. “This strategic teammate, while not yet publicly named, brings innovative autonomous technologies to integrate with our proven drone performance to deliver a much-needed solution for countering the evolving threat facing nations around the world.”

The upcoming demonstration will feature a simulated border-crossing scenario designed to validate the system’s ability to autonomously detect, track, and report unauthorized incursions. Operating as a multi-drone team, three eBee VISION drones will coordinate using AI systems to execute their mission with minimal operator oversight. The exercise will also include dynamic environmental variables to showcase the system’s adaptability and responsiveness to real-world challenges.

As part of this confidential collaboration, AgEagle is leveraging partner-developed AI mission-planning software, incorporating multi-agent collaboration strategies that enable high levels of autonomy and operational resilience. The demonstration is expected to validate autonomous planning and execution across simulated and operational environments, further underscoring the potential of next-generation UAS teaming for defense and public safety.

This initiative represents a major milestone in AgEagle’s strategy to deliver intelligent, mission-ready unmanned solutions through key partnerships. It reflects the Company’s commitment to advancing technologies that enhance situational awareness, reduce operator burden, and increase mission success rates in high-threat environments.

Completion of this demonstration will depend on relevant export and import approvals.
