New compact UAV to debut at Land Forces Conference in Melbourne

Draganfly Inc. has announced the launch of its latest product, the APEX Drone, a versatile solution designed to meet the growing demands of military and law enforcement surveillance. This new UAV offers enhanced portability and modularity, responding to global demand for a compact version of the Commander 3XL drone.

APEX Drone Designed for Critical Missions

The APEX Drone is built to meet the needs of government and military operations, providing a North American-manufactured platform designed to high standards. With up to 45 minutes of flight time and a payload capacity of 5 pounds, the APEX can handle a variety of mission-critical tasks. A quick-release, exchangeable payload system allows operators to adapt to changing mission requirements quickly.

Optional upgrades for onboard computing and communication further enhance its adaptability. “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,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Global Debut

The APEX offers onboard Nvidia computing, enabling advanced AI performance and real-time data processing. This feature allows operators to execute complex algorithms directly on the drone. The drone also supports multiple communication link options, including interference-resistant COFDM and multi-channel capabilities. These features ensure reliable communication even in challenging radio frequency environments.

The APEX Drone will make its global debut at the Land Forces Conference in Melbourne, Australia, from September 11-13, 2024. This event attracts key figures from military, law enforcement, and industry sectors, providing a platform to showcase the APEX’s capabilities.

“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,” added Chell.
