Draganfly (DPRO) and The Drone Racing League have launched a multi-year partnership and innovation lab.

The lab, to be known as DRL Labs, will research and develop next-generation drone technology to advance drone racing and other industries undergoing significant transformations through drones, including mobility and humanitarian aid.

Draganfly and DRL engineers will focus on new technical solutions within autonomy, sensors and artificial intelligence, with an aim to contribute discoveries to disaster relief, transportation and delivery spaces.

Globally broadcasted DRL races will provide real-time testing grounds for the lab’s innovations, reaching millions of fans in the process.

The league will also incorporate Draganfly’s Vital Intelligence platform into its 2021-22 DRL World Championship season. The platform utilizes cameras to monitor pilots’ in-race heart and respiratory rates, analyzing their reactions to competition, fast speeds, crashes and more.

Additionally, DRL will release the “Why I Fly” series, presented by Draganfly, spotlighting pilots’ personal journeys into drone flying during the 2021-22 season.

Draganfly will be integrated into the 2021-22 DRL World Championship season starting next Wednesday, October 20, 2021, at 8:00 pm ET on NBCSN and Twitter.

Cameron Chell, Draganfly’s CEO, stated,

“Draganfly has been driving the future of drones since the pre-drone era and The Drone Racing League is constantly driving the future of sports. We’re excited to partner with DRL to develop new drone technology that will disrupt drone racing competition and the fan experience — while leveraging our tech discoveries for the good of humanity.”

Draganfly creates quality, cutting-edge drone solutions, software and AI systems.
