DESCRIPTION
Draganfly (NASDAQ: DPRO) CEO Cameron Chell joins Benzinga's PreMarket Playbook to break down the company's newly awarded U.S. Army DEVCOM contract with F4 Defense International to develop an ultra-mobile, man-packable counter-drone (C-UAS) system for forward operating bases and tactical units. Cameron also unpacks Draganfly's new Blitz optical payload line — bringing NDAA-compliant military-grade gimbals to market at a fraction of competitor pricing — and explains why "AI is a payload" in today's drone arms race. Plus: a Q3 record, what Ukraine boots-on-the-ground experience teaches the business, and why Cameron believes DPRO is headed well north of $1B. • Cameron Chell, CEO - Draganfly https://draganfly.com/ (NASDAQ: DPRO) Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:37 Army DEVCOM Counter-Drone Contract Announced 01:30 Why Man-Packable Counter-Drone Tech Matters 02:21 27 Years Of Drone Experience & Ukraine Operations 03:53 Blitz Optical Payload Line Explained 04:20 Solving The NDAA-Compliant Gimbal Supply Crunch 05:30 Pricing Disruption: $15K vs $45K Military Optics 06:29 Record Quarter & "North Of $1 Billion" Outlook 07:24 Audience Q&A: Who Buys Draganfly Drones? 07:47 Audience Q&A: Is AI Used In The Drones? 09:30 Modular Systems vs Closed Competitor Platforms 11:25 Closing ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌐 Find more market-moving insights at https://www.benzinga.com — your one-stop destination for the latest financial news, data, and expert analysis to stay ahead of the markets. 📲 Follow us on socials @benzinga ⚠️ Disclaimer: Investing in financial markets carries risk, and there are no guaranteed returns.
