The Commander 3XL will carry and transport
swarms of Draganfly Flex FPV Drones using VRR’s Holowarrior
platform, an interoperable augmented reality threat assessment and
mitigation platform that is deployable among a variety of
autonomous amphibious, ground and aerial vehicles. VRR and
Draganfly have collaborated to integrate VRR’s advanced software
and HellHive functionality on Draganfly’s drones. The collaboration
also includes the integration of VRR’s swarming technology on
various Draganfly platforms, including the recently released Flex
FPV System.
The modular design and robust payload capacity
of the Commander 3XL drone position it as an ideal solution for the
remote deployment of FPV Drone Swarms. The adaptability and
performance of Draganfly’s Flex FPV drone, including payload a
capacity of up to 6 lbs and a variety of mounting points, allows
for the attachment of a variety of payloads to satisfy mission
requirements. Draganfly and VRR have been supporting the
integration of VRR’s swarming technology with Draganfly’s
technology stack to address the evolving operational requirements
of the modern warfighter, allowing interoperability between
multiple vehicle types and with systems such as ATAK and Nett
Warrior. As well as integrating AI for self-parking mode enabling
motherships (Commander 3XL’s) while in-flight to air-recover swarms
of small drones.
“We are excited to have been selected and
received the initial order as a next step toward the scalable
deployment with the incredible capability brought forth by this
comprehensive system. This is truly where Draganfly shines,
integrating its full line of drones, experience, and technology
stack into systems with commercial and military partners that
provide exceptional capabilities in time frames and at costs that
few others can,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly.
