EagleNXT eBee VISION ISR Drone Selected by U.S. Army for advanced training

EagleNXT to Supply Two eBee VISION UAS Systems to Army 

ALLEN, Texas, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (dba, EagleNXT) (the “Company” or “EagleNXT”) (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of full stack drone, sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals today announced its eBee VISION Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) has been selected for acquisition by the U.S. Army to support hands-on unmanned systems training, operator proficiency, and integration exercises.

The acquisition of two eBee VISION systems by the U.S. Army highlights the system’s critical role in bolstering Army training programs with portable, high-performance unmanned capabilities specifically tailored for realistic unmanned training scenarios, focused on real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).

The eBee VISION is a lightweight, NDAA-compliant, Blue UAS Cleared List fixed-wing drone optimized for rapid deployment and superior situational awareness. Key features include:

• Up to 90 minutes of endurance to enable prolonged, realistic training evolutions and extended scenario coverage.
• Real-time high-resolution video and data transmission for immediate instructor feedback, trainee debriefs, and alignment with Army doctrine and tactics in both simulated and operational environments.
• Advanced imaging and live feeds to replicate adversary aerial observation and threat environments, supporting Soldier and leader development in UAS employment, integration with manned aviation platforms, threat recognition, mission planning, and multi-domain tactics
• Portable, backpack-compatible design enabling quick setup in field training environments.

This acquisition builds on EagleNXT's growing momentum in U.S. defense and training applications, including prior sales of eBee VISION systems to U.S. Army units for advanced training and operational simulation (e.g., to OPFOR elements at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Germany) and eBee TAC tactical mapping drones to Army forces.

“We’re thrilled that the Army has selected our eBee Vision as a platform to integrate tactical uncrewed system training into its ground force doctrine and operations for increased readiness,” said Bill Irby, CEO of EagleNXT. “The Bee VISION will prepare the next generation of warfighters for multi-domain operations through effective, repeatable unmanned training.”

The eBee VISION excels in supporting dedicated training missions, including hands-on UAS employment, real-time data analysis, operator certification and proficiency building, and seamless integration with manned aviation assets, directly contributing to the Army’s mission of developing highly skilled UAS operators and enhancing force-wide unmanned capabilities.
