This landmark announcement, inclusive of robust support for drone development and Canadian manufacturing, marks a generational shift in federal defence procurement strategy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8), an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions and systems developer. Draganfly is positioned to contribute to objectives within the Our North Strong and Free (ONSAF) defence policy expansion. Draganfly\u2019s interoperable and multi-mission family of UAS platforms is strategically aligned with stated DND priorities such as \u201cExpanding and Enhancing Existing and Emerging Military Capabilities\u201d related to border security and Arctic sovereignty. Demonstrating this adaptability, Draganfly confirms the successful integration and demonstration of a Department of National Defence (DND)-specified radio communications system into its flagship drone platforms, in addition to several other communication system integrations to support interoperability with existing assets. These integrations help prime the company for eligibility in upcoming federal UAS procurements that emphasize secure, interoperable, and sovereign systems.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Draganfly, with multiple R&amp;D and Manufacturing sites in Canada, is one of the world\u2019s longest standing commercial UAS manufacturers. The capacity for expansion of domestic production, in combination with long standing strategic relationships that Draganfly holds with various related technologies providers across various Five Eyes regions uniquely positions Draganfly as a technology integrator and solutions provider.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This week&#8217;s developments signal a major policy realignment by Ottawa, anchoring defence spending to strategic domestic priorities such as resilient supply chains, sovereign manufacturing, and interoperability with NATO and Five Eyes partners. The emphasis on drone capabilities and homeland industrial content is particularly relevant in an era marked by asymmetric threats and hybrid warfare.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Prime Minister Carney\u2019s announcement effectively maps a multi-year demand curve for Canadian aerospace, cybersecure communications, and autonomous systems providers. Analysts anticipate that a minimum of 20% of the $80B envelope will be earmarked for next-generation battlefield technologies, with drones expected to account for a significant share of this investment.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Draganfly\u2019s ability to support existing architecture and protocols while providing the ability to rapidly test and adopt emerging technologies with domestic manufacturing and engineering expertise is poised to support these pillars of the Defence Modernization package. Adoption of Draganfly product for testing and use by Canadian and US Military Customers and Prime Contractors through 2024 and 2025, validates its platforms for critical applications such as reconnaissance, force protection, and logistics resupply. This positions Draganfly as one of the few Canadian OEMs and Supply Chain Managers capable of delivering mission-ready systems that meet both tactical requirements and industrial policy criteria.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Strategic Implications for Capital Markets and Domestic Industry<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Domestic Preference: The federal focus on Canadian manufacturing aligns with the Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy, making domestically-integrated platforms poised to win procurement bids.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Supply Chain Security: In an age of escalating global tensions, Canada is reducing reliance on foreign critical components. Draganfly\u2019s control over its own airframe and avionics IP gives it a defensible advantage.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Dual-Use Upside: Beyond military contracts, the integrated communication system enhances the company\u2019s value proposition in emergency response, disaster relief, and public safety markets.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Revenue Catalysts: Analysts expect RFIs and RFPs for defence-grade drones to accelerate in the second half of 2025, with contract awards potentially materializing as early as Q1 2026. Draganfly\u2019s early compliance could provide a first-mover advantage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Draganfly<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Draganfly Inc.
