– Eagle Aerial Systems Inc. has announced the sale of two eBee VISION unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR).
The eBee VISION is a lightweight, fixed-wing UAS used by allied forces worldwide to provide real-time situational awareness and actionable intelligence, even in challenging environments. Designed for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, the platform offers up to 90 minutes of flight endurance, a 12-mile wireless range, AES-256 encryption, and rapid three-minute deployment.
EagleNXT’s eBee VISION is Blue UAS Cleared by the U.S. Department of Defense and fully compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), enabling expedited procurement by U.S. forces and allied partners engaged in multinational operations.
“Equipping NATO’s longstanding peace-support mission in Kosovo with our proven eBee VISION systems helps allied forces operate more efficiently, effectively, and safely, and we’re honored to support their ongoing operations,” said Bill Irby, CEO of EagleNXT. “Being on the Blue UAS certified list allows for rapid acquisition by U.S. forces and our allies, quickly delivering advanced capability to the warfighter.”
Within KFOR’s peace-support mission, the eBee VISION can support real-time situational awareness, reconnaissance to enable freedom of movement, border surveillance, and intelligence gathering. Its cyber-secure design and real-time data capabilities make it well suited for multinational operations in complex, multi-domain environments.
The acquisition also offers opportunities for expanded training and enhanced interoperability with allied units during multinational exercises.
