U.S. Drone Infrastructure Expansion

Here is a short article update for DPRO. One of the things I was looking for with this company being so small is the expansion of drone producing infrastructure. Which signals to me the growing government interests in their advanced drone technology.

Also, on a side note, the company isn't just a drone manufacturer it claims in is an Ai driven software and robotics company.

Tampa, Florida, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an industry-leading developer of drone solutions and systems, is pleased to announce the expansion of its U.S. manufacturing footprint, capability, and capacity across multiple locations in the United States. This will provide resiliency and redundancy within its manufacturing and supply chain ecosystem. The expansion includes additional AS9100- and ISO9001-certified manufacturing facilities and logistics locations, via its contract manufacturing partner, strengthening the Company’s ability to respond to rising demand for U.S.-made drones.

This expansion comes at a pivotal moment for the U.S. drone industry. In a recent policy shift, the U.S. Secretary of Defense announced an initiative to accelerate domestic drone production and supply chain expansion. This directive supports the rapid scaling of industrial drone production capacity and a move away from lengthy acquisition cycles that have historically slowed the adoption of new technologies. Primary objectives of the directive include increased investment in U.S.-based manufacturers and a more streamlined approach to integrating drone systems across key government and public safety agencies.

These recent announcements and policy shifts underscore the urgency of building a resilient and distributed industrial base that can respond quickly to operational needs and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. Draganfly’s expanded U.S. manufacturing capacity directly aligns with this national objective by improving logistics and supply chain diversity to meet expanding demand for products such as the innovative Draganfly Flex FPV system.

“U.S. leadership is signaling a clear and necessary shift in how this critical technology is procured and deployed,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly. “By expanding our U.S. manufacturing footprint, we’re not only improving how quickly we can deliver for customers—we’re also contributing to a more agile, secure, and self-reliant drone ecosystem.”

As the United States looks to strengthen its domestic capabilities in aerospace and robotics, Draganfly remains committed to enabling scalable, mission-ready solutions through strategic investments in U.S. infrastructure and innovation.
