Draganfly's Commander 3XL Drone Set to Be Among First to Attain Green UAS Certification for Enhanced Cybersecurity Compliance

Published January 25, 2024

Draganfly Inc., a leader in the commercial drone industry, is actively engaging with the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International's (AUVSI) Green Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) program to achieve certification for its Commander 3XL drone. This program, developed in collaboration with the U.S. federal government, focuses on enhancing cybersecurity protocols and ensuring adherence to rigorous supply chain standards as delineated by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Understanding the Green UAS Program

The Green UAS program is an initiative that provides a framework for commercial drones to comply with heightened cybersecurity requirements. As drones become increasingly integrated into national airspace and utilized by government agencies for various applications, it is critical that these systems are secure from cyber threats and have transparent, NDAA-compliant supply chains. Certification under this program not only underscores a product's reliability but also facilitates more rapid adoption by U.S. federal and state entities seeking trustworthy UAS solutions.

The Significance of the Commander 3XL's Anticipated Certification

The Commander 3XL is poised to become one of the inaugural commercial drone platforms to achieve Green UAS certification. This milestone would affirm Draganfly's commitment to national security standards and position the Commander 3XL as a leading solution for government agencies. By meeting the NDAA's stringent requirements, Draganfly DPRO endeavors to accelerate the integration of the Commander 3XL system within U.S. federal and state operations, addressing an array of mission-critical tasks securely and efficiently.
