(NYSE: UAVS) a leading provider of best-in-class unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, announces the recent completion of a successful four-day proof-of-concept demonstration with France’s Directorate General for Maritime Affairs, Fisheries, and Aquaculture (DGAMPA) testing eBee VISION’s advanced capabilities.
AgEagle CEO Bill Irby commented, “This successful demonstration underscores the potential of the eBee VISION for enhancing maritime security and environmental protection efforts. Multiple flights were carried out in diverse conditions, both day and night. Our eBee VISION demonstrated outstanding performance, operating within a 20 km range and temperatures as low as 5°C, as well as landing smoothly on sand. Throughout the trials, various observation scenarios were tested for maritime control and surveillance, all of which were completed with positive results. This success not only highlights the robust performance of our technology but also validates the potential for growth across various markets.”
The demonstration missions allowed for the thorough evaluation of the eBee VISION’s advanced capabilities and confirmed:
The drone’s low acoustic and visual signatures enabled discreet surveillance, reducing the risk of detection
The eBee VISION successfully operated in coastal winds, showcasing its robustness in challenging conditions
The drone completed persistent missions covering 20 km, with the ability to fly out, observe, and return efficiently
The video transmission range, image quality, and ease of use
Daytime operations consisted of monitoring a 20 km range above the sea to identify fishing boats in prohibited areas, assess their cargo, and detect net fishing in deeper maritime areas. Also, surveillance of line fishing in the coastal line.
Night operations consisted of conducting coastal line surveillance with the eBee VISION’s thermal camera to detect illegal fishing activities, enabling authorities to target unauthorized operations.
