Drone solutions and systems developer Draganfly Inc. has launched its new APEX Drone, designed to meet the needs of military and law enforcement surveillance operations.

Engineered with up to 45 minutes of flight time and a payload capacity of 5 pounds, the APEX is equipped to handle a variety of mission-critical applications. Its quick-release, exchangeable payload system allows operators to adapt swiftly to changing operational needs. 

Optional upgrades to onboard computing and communications make the APEX platform ideal for a variety of current and future drone operations. Available Nvidia onboard computing delivers cutting-edge AI performance, allowing users to execute complex AI algorithms and real-time data processing directly on the drone. 

Additionally, a variety of communication link options are available that include interference-resistant COFDM and multi-channel capabilities, ensuring continuous control and reliable communication in RF-challenged environments.

The APEX is a direct response to the increasing global demand for a compact, transportable version of the Commander 3XL. Incorporating feedback from military and law enforcement agencies, the APEX Drone is a versatile and powerful solution that offers portability and modularity without sacrificing performance. 

Designed and manufactured in North America, the APEX Drone has been built to the high standards of government and military applications, making it an ideal choice for defense and law enforcement missions.

The APEX Drone debuts globally at the Land Forces Conference in Melbourne, Australia, from September 11-13, 2024. 

Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly, commented, “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. 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.”
