AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc., a leading provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, is proud to announce that its eBee TAC is now Blue UAS certified. This designation makes the AgEagle drone eligible for procurement by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies and recognizes the drone as compliant with security and performance standards required by the DoD.
“This is a transformative moment for AgEagle and places us in a position to supply our military with the equipment and technology needed to counter modern battlefield threat situations,” said Bill Irby, CEO of AgEagle Aerial Systems.
The designation for the eBee TAC enables AgEagle to market the platform as Blue UAS Cleared, reinforcing their suitability for sensitive missions requiring secure, reliable, and scalable uncrewed aerial systems.
This platform’s certification previously had Green UAS-certification, which is now qualified as a direct on-ramp for Blue UAS classification. The DoD Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) adopted the Green UAS certification as a pathway to Blue UAS Cleared status. This marks a significant step forward in streamlining secure drone acquisition across government applications. This achievement reflects months of collaboration between the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), DIU, and federal stakeholders, aligning with Executive Order 14307 and the Secretary of Defense’s July 10, 2025, memorandum to rapidly field NDAA-compliant Group 1 and 2 drones.
The eBee TAC is a lightweight (3.5 pounds), hand-launched, fixed-wing drone designed for tactical mapping and reconnaissance. It offers up to 90 minutes of flight time, operates in disconnected environments, and supports secure data sharing for near real-time situational awareness. These features align with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s call for low-cost, expendable drones for squad-level operations.
