MESA, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Iveda® (NASDAQ: IVDA), a global provider of AI-powered video intelligence, smart infrastructure, and autonomous technology solutions, today announced that it will host a live flight demonstration of its long-range GX11 IvedaAir unmanned helicopter on November 10, 2026, in Mesa, Arizona.
The invitation-only event is co-hosted by Iveda’s Strategic Government Partner, GlobalMed®. It will bring together representatives from federal, state, and local government agencies, government and defense contractors, strategic partners, and prospective users evaluating autonomous aerial technology for mission-critical operations.
During the event, attendees will see the GX11 operate in flight, deliver cargo, and transmit live aerial video to IvedaAI™ for real-time analysis. As the aircraft captures activity from above, IvedaAI will analyze the live feed and flag alerts as they happen, showing how autonomous flight and AI-powered intelligence work together within an active mission environment.
The fuel-powered GX11 is engineered for long-range, heavy-lift operations offering a 19-mile line-of-sight, a maximum carrying capacity of 26 pounds, and up to three hours of flight endurance when payload is reduced to 13 pounds. Its extended endurance and large payload compartment support applications across emergency response, public safety, defense, maritime security, critical infrastructure, and operations in remote or difficult-to-access environments. More than 1,000 U.S. public safety agencies are now FAA-cleared for drone-as-first-responder programs, and daily drone use in public safety is projected to triple over the next five years, underscoring the scale of demand IvedaAir is built to meet.
“This demonstration moves IvedaAir from introduction to real-world operation,” said David Ly, CEO and founder of Iveda. "Government and defense teams don't adopt new technology from a data sheet. They adopt it after they've watched it perform. This is that moment for IvedaAir."
The event follows the August launch of IvedaAir and growing interest from government agencies, Fortune 500 defense and aerospace companies, and commercial organizations. That momentum tracks a market moving quickly: the global military drone market is valued at ~$35 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach $109.22 billion by 2031. It is designed to advance current discussions toward technical evaluations, pilot programs, procurement opportunities, strategic partnerships, and deployments.
"GlobalMed has spent more than two decades building the pathways government agencies rely on to field mission-ready technology,” said Joel E. Barthelemy, founder, chairman, and CEO of GlobalMed. “This demonstration gives them a firsthand look at how that same trusted pathway now extends to autonomous aerial intelligence, and we’re honored to work alongside Iveda to make it happen.”
As Iveda’s Strategic Government Partner, GlobalMed provides agencies with an established pathway to evaluate and procure IvedaAir. The platform is currently available for government order through GlobalMed via the Defense Logistics Agency’s Tailored Logistics Support contract vehicle.
