The order, placed through a recognized defense contractor, represents a significant milestone for Draganfly, reinforcing the Commander 3XL’s position as a trusted, multi-mission platform for government and defense operations worldwide. It also marks Draganfly’s selection for the first phase of a formal evaluation process as part of an ongoing program to integrate drone solutions throughout military operations.
