AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (NYSE: UAVS) experienced a notable market rally after achieving a key federal endorsement. As of the latest session, UAVS shares were trading at $2.19, reflecting a 13.14% increase.
The surge followed the announcement that its eBee VISION drone has received Blue UAS certification — a significant designation granted by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
A Second Success in Quick Succession
AgEagle’s eBee TAC was also awarded Blue UAS designation a week prior to the eBee VISION certification. This certification shows that the drones satisfy the stringent cybersecurity, performance, and procurement eligibility requirements set by the DoD.
AgEagle’s strategic role in bolstering national security is further reinforced by the fact that both systems are eligible for immediate acquisition by federal and defense agencies due to their inclusion on the Blue UAS Cleared list.
A Streamlined Path from Green to Blue
Prior to receiving the Blue UAS label, eBee VISION held Green UAS certification, a classification recently accepted by the DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) as a direct pathway to Blue UAS clearance. Key government stakeholders, the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), and DIU worked together to make this transition feasible.
Executive Order 14307 and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s July 10, 2025, letter, which stressed the quick deployment of NDAA-compliant Group 1 and 2 drones, are in line with the action.
Operational Versatility and Tactical Skills
The eBee VISION, which weighs only 3.3 pounds, has high-performance thermal and electro-optical sensors and can fly for up to 100 minutes. Even in unconnected areas, real-time situational awareness is made possible by its secure data transfer capabilities.
The drone is more appropriate for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions due to its small size, low noise profile, and quick three-minute single-operator deployment. Because of these characteristics, it is an affordable and expandable option for contemporary tactical operations.
AgEagle has enhanced its reputation as a reliable partner in the military technology industry by adding two certified systems to the Blue UAS program.
