AgEagle Rockets on eBee TAC News
AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a Wichita-based provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, saw its shares enjoy a sizable jump Friday. The company announced 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 CEO Bill Irby.
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.
Said this morning’s news release, “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.”
UAVS shares raced 70 cents, or 48%, to $2.12.
