Designed for demanding operational environments, the Heavy Lift platform supports mission-specific payloads and configurations, providing defense operators with a flexible system for applications requiring increased lifting capacity and adaptability.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Commander 3XL utilization builds on an established DOW relationship supporting expanded intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. The Commander 3XL\u2019s will complement the customer&#8217;s previously purchased Flex systems, supporting ISR as well as a broader range of operational requirements.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Together, these sales demonstrate demand for Draganfly&#8217;s portfolio of adaptable unmanned systems, from modular, rapidly deployable platforms to larger aircraft capable of supporting more demanding payload and mission requirements.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#8220;Defense customers are increasingly looking for integrated capabilities that can adapt as their operational requirements evolve,&#8221; said Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly. &#8220;These orders reflect two important aspects of our strategy: introducing our technology into new operational environments, and expanding our relationships with customers who are already using Draganfly systems. Our focus is on delivering solutions that support the mission, with the flexibility to integrate new capabilities and scale alongside our customers&#8217; needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Draganfly&#8217;s approach to unmanned systems development combines aircraft design, engineering, payload integration and mission-specific configuration to support customers operating in complex environments. With a portfolio spanning multiple aircraft classes and operational applications, the Company is positioned to address a broad range of defense requirements through adaptable platforms and integrated technologies.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The sales also reflect Draganfly&#8217;s continued focus on expanding its presence within the North American defense market, supporting military customers with unmanned systems designed to meet changing operational needs.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Draganfly<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Draganfly Inc.
