– AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. has announced the relocation of its global headquarters from Wichita, Kansas, to Allen, Texas, located in the northeast Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex. The move marks a significant milestone as EagleNXT positions itself for accelerated growth in the rapidly expanding unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry.
The new Allen headquarters will serve as EagleNXT’s central operating hub. The Company has already initiated plans to establish production lines at the facility for manufacturing MicaSense multispectral sensors and EagleNXT’s first-ever U.S.-based production line for its eBee VISION drone. The Texas operation will complement the Company’s existing drone production facility in Switzerland.
EagleNXT will make capital investments in the new site, including facility upgrades, offices, tooling, and equipment to support expanded manufacturing. The location is also planned to house key functions such as engineering, customer support, and marketing and communications, enabling greater collaboration and innovation. The site is under lease, with a grand opening planned for April 2026. Production startup will occur in phases, with the facility expected to be operational by May 2026.
“Manufacturing our advanced drones and sensors in the United States provides a strategic advantage by simplifying the acquisition process for government and parapublic users,” said Bill Irby, CEO of EagleNXT. “This domestic production center supports the administration’s push for technological leadership in the drone industry and enables faster delivery of capability to users.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott welcomed the relocation, noting it strengthens the state’s aerospace and high-tech sectors and reinforces North Texas as a hub for advanced manufacturing. Allen Economic Development Corporation President Dan Bowman added that EagleNXT brings high-quality jobs, innovation, and long-term economic value to the community.
Founded in 2010 in Neodesha, Kansas, EagleNXT began as a developer of fixed-wing drones for precision agriculture. The Company expanded through acquisitions, including MicaSense and senseFly, and rebranded from AgEagle to EagleNXT in 2025.
“Relocating our headquarters to Allen allows us to access exceptional talent and a dynamic aerospace and technology ecosystem,” Irby added. “We’re excited to grow while calling Texas home.”
