Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO), known for its pioneering work in drone solutions, has secured a multi-year agreement with SafeLane Global to become the preferred provider of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and aerial survey services. This significant collaboration involves Draganfly delivering drone technology, specialized sensors, and data analysis services, positioned to support SafeLane’s explosive threat mitigation efforts.
SafeLane Global, a specialist in landmine clearance and explosive threat mitigation, is one of only two private organizations licensed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to conduct these operations in Ukraine. The partnership marks their first landmine aerial survey contract in Ukraine, a country heavily affected by unexploded ordnance and landmines. With over 30 years of experience and operations in more than 60 countries, SafeLane is at the forefront of addressing these critical threats.
Under this agreement, Draganfly will handle the technology support, mission planning, piloting, and survey analysis, while SafeLane leads proposal submissions and operational deployment. The collaboration will also focus on co-developing joint intellectual property and standard procedures for aerial mine detection and clearance.
According to the Landmine Monitor 2023, there are more than 60 million landmines still buried in over 60 countries, causing significant civilian casualties, with Ukraine being one of the hardest-hit areas. The integration of Draganfly’s drone technology is expected to greatly increase the accuracy, speed, and safety of landmine detection and removal operations.
Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, "This partnership represents a significant opportunity to leverage Draganfly’s technology to support critical humanitarian and defense efforts. Together, we aim to deliver scalable, innovative solutions for global landmine action."
The partnership not only positions Draganfly as a key player in defense and humanitarian sectors but also supports global efforts in creating safer environments in vulnerable regions worldwide.
