AgEagle Aerial Systems eBee VISION Drone Receives Blue UAS Cleared Status
Designation Allows for Direct, Expedited U.S. Government Procurement WICHITA, Kan., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, is proud to announce that its eBee VISION is now Blue UAS certified. This designation comes just a week after the Company's eBee TAC received Blue UAS certification. The Blue UAS certification makes the AgEagle drone eligible for procurement by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies and recognizes the drone as compliant with security and performance standards required by the DoD. 'This is very welcome news, and we are so proud that now the eBee VISION joins our eBee TAC on the Blue UAS Cleared list for the Department of Defense,' said Bill Irby, CEO of AgEagle Aerial Systems. 'This is another pivotal achievement for AgEagle and will allow for fast acquisition and delivery of this much-needed capability into the hands of our Defense community to address swiftly evolving battlefield and security scenarios.' These inclusions enable AgEagle to market the platform as Blue UAS Cleared, reinforcing their suitability for sensitive missions requiring secure, reliable, and scalable uncrewed aerial systems. This platform's certification previously had Green UAS-certification, which is now qualified as a direct on-ramp for Blue UAS classification. The DoD Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) adopted the Green UAS certification as a pathway to Blue UAS Cleared status. This marks a significant step forward in streamlining secure drone acquisition across government applications. This achievement reflects months of collaboration between the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), DIU, and federal stakeholders, aligning with Executive Order 14307 and the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's July 10, 2025, memorandum to rapidly field NDAA-compliant Group 1 and 2 drones. Weighing just 3.3 pounds, the eBee VISION UAS offers up to 100 minutes of flight time, advanced electro-optical and thermal imaging, and secure data transmission for real-time situational awareness in disconnected environments. Its compact design, low acoustic signature, rapid three-minute deployment by a single operator, and silent mission mode make it ideal for tactical Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, supporting the DoD's need for low-cost, scalable, and expendable drones as emphasized by Secretary Hegseth.

AgEagle Aerial Systems Advances Global Expansion as Drone and Sensor Technologies Propel Growth in Brazil's Sugarcane Industry
Deployment with leading biofuel producer Atvos demonstrates AgEagle's scalable impact on agricultural efficiency, sustainability, and international market growth WICHITA, Kan., July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, announces the sale and deployment of five advanced eBee X drones integrated with S.O.D.A. 3D mapping cameras to Atvos Agroindustrial S.A., one of Brazil's largest producers of sugarcane-based ethanol, sugar, and renewable energy. AgEagle CEO Bill Irby commented, 'Atvos is a strong example of how our proprietary drone technologies are enabling industrial-scale agriculture to become more efficient, data-driven, and sustainable. This partnership illustrates how AgEagle platforms can deliver meaningful value to international producers while creating new opportunities to drive long-term shareholder growth. From defense and security to agriculture, energy, infrastructure, and environmental monitoring, our drones are supporting a diverse and expanding range of global applications. As we continue entering high-impact markets, we remain committed to delivering intelligent aerial solutions that generate measurable value across our operational and customer ecosystems.' Atvos is focused on enhancing productivity, improving environmental stewardship, and reducing operational costs, through the deployment of AgEagle's UAS systems across its 1.2 million acres of sugarcane. Atvos is using AgEagle's technologies to advance two core initiatives: Crop failure analysis – Using high-resolution drone imagery and proprietary algorithms, Atvos identifies gaps in planting greater than 50 cm. This data generates failure index reports, improving the quality and efficiency of mechanized operations. Targeted weed control – Pre-harvest drone mapping enables Atvos to locate weed concentrations in dense cane fields. The data directs herbicide application by drone, significantly cutting chemical usage, lowering costs, and reducing environmental impact. Drone flights take place 60 to 90 days after planting and produce precision maps with 3 cm spatial resolution. These maps integrate with the autopilot systems of agricultural machinery, improving travel accuracy to within 15 cm, thereby minimizing crop damage and soil compaction. Initial results point to an estimated 5% increase in sugarcane yields. This deployment aligns with Atvos' recent R$11 billion (USD $1.89 billion) investment in its New Business division to diversify and scale its biofuel portfolio. The adoption of AgEagle's drone and sensor systems reflects the Atvos' commitment to innovation and sustainable growth. About AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc.
