Drone company Draganfly (CSE/NASDAQ:DPRO) will support the Cochise County Sheriff’s Department‘s new pilot program to surveil Arizona’s southern border with Mexico.
The program aligns with US President Trump’s executive order, “Unleashing American Drone Dominance,” seeking to assert US leadership in unmanned aerial systems for defense and security.
Draganfly drones will be put to the test through extended surveillance, quick-response missions and nighttime operations. According to Tuesday’s news release, the company expects to impress thanks to its drones’ “adaptability and multi-mission capabilities,” which have granted “law enforcement and public safety operators the ability to execute a variety of operating tactics and capabilities from a single vehicle, with a variety of configurations available to support various payload and range demands.”
The partnership continues the Cochise County Sheriff’s Department’s penchant for technology, having previously deployed high-resolution cameras, sensor-integrated mobile units, as well as ground surveillance radar systems in its jurisdiction.
These efforts have led to “commendations and visits from President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, highlighting the department’s leadership in border enforcement,” the news release goes on to state.
Despite a growing number of compelling contracts and partnerships, Draganfly has yet to register much in the way of revenue growth – progressing from C$4.36 million in 2020 to C$6.56 million in 2024 – and has yet to turn a net profit. That said, net losses have been cut in half over the past three fiscal years.
Leadership insights
“The southern border is one of America’s most critical national security frontiers,” Captain Tim Williams of the Cochise County Sheriff’s Department, said in a statement. “Our department has always been committed to leveraging the best tools available. With Draganfly as our drone partner, we’re entering the next phase of smart border enforcement. Their systems will enhance our ability to protect communities, manage humanitarian concerns and respond rapidly to evolving threats.”
“We are honored to be working with the Cochise County Sheriff’s Department on this historic program,” added Cameron Chell, Draganfly’s chief executive officer. “Their team represents some of the best of American law enforcement—innovation-focused, community-minded and mission-ready. This project embodies the spirit of President Trump’s executive order and sets a gold standard for how drone technology should be used to secure national borders.”
