(NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an industry-leading developer of drone solutions and systems, is pleased to announce the expansion of its U.S. manufacturing footprint, capability, and capacity across multiple locations in the United States. This will provide resiliency and redundancy within its manufacturing and supply chain ecosystem. The expansion includes additional AS9100- and ISO9001-certified manufacturing facilities and logistics locations, via its contract manufacturing partner, strengthening the Company’s ability to respond to rising demand for U.S.-made drones.\n \n\n This expansion comes at a pivotal moment for the U.S. drone industry.

Primary objectives of the directive include increased investment in U.S.-based manufacturers and a more streamlined approach to integrating drone systems across key government and public safety agencies.\n \n\n These recent announcements and policy shifts underscore the urgency of building a resilient and distributed industrial base that can respond quickly to operational needs and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
