Draganfly (CSE:DPRO) launched its newest product, the APEX Drone, designed to meet the needs of military and law enforcement surveillance.

Designed and manufactured in North America, the APEX unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was built to address the growing global hunger for a compact, transportable version of the popular Commander 3XL drone. By incorporating feedback from military and law enforcement agencies, the APEX drone offers a more versatile and powerful solution that is more portable without compromising performance.

With a flight time of up to 45 minutes and a payload capacity of 2.26 kilograms (5 pounds), the APEX is equipped for a variety of mission-critical applications. It has a quick-release, exchangeable payload system that can allow operators to adapt swiftly to changing operational needs. Optional upgrades to onboard computing and communications make the APEX platform suitable for a range of current and future UAV operations. Onboard Nvidia computing delivers AI performance, enabling users to execute complex AI algorithms and real-time data processing directly on the drone. Various communication link options, including interference-resistant coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (COFDM) and multi-channel capabilities can help ensure continuous control and reliable communication in radio frequency-challenged environments.

“The APEX represents a significant advancement in our drone technology, delivering a compact yet powerful solution that directly addresses the needs of our military and law enforcement partners,” Draganfly’s president and CEO, Cameron Chell, said in a news release with a video clip of the drone up close. “We are excited to showcase the APEX at the Land Forces Conference and are confident that it will set new standards for performance and reliability in the field.”

The APEX drone will debut at the Land Forces Conference in Melbourne, Australia, from Wednesday to Friday. This event will introduce the drone to the Asia-Pacific defence industry. The event attracts military leaders, law enforcement and industry experts.
