AgEagle Secures Contract for eBee X and eBee TAC Drones for Use by US Department of Energy Laboratory

Leading drone solutions chosen for operational excellence, NDAA compliance, FAA-approved Operations Over People, and Blue UAS accreditation

AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. a leading provider of full stack drone, sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, announces the procurement of a fleet of eBee X and eBee TAC drones by UT-Battelle, LLC, which manages and operates the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

In addition to the operational capabilities of both drones and their NDAA compliance, a crucial factor for this purchase was that the eBee TAC is approved under the Blue UAS Cleared List program for U.S. government procurement, and the eBee X is the only FAA-approved drone for Operations Over People (OOP) without the need for a waiver in the United States.
