EagleNXT (AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc.) awarded a contract to supply three eBee VISION drones to the U.S. Army’s 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany. The drones will support training and operational support for the battalion’s opposing‑force missions.
The eBee VISION is a lightweight fixed‑wing UAS that offers up to 90 minutes of flight time, high‑resolution imaging, and autonomous navigation in GPS‑denied environments. FAA‑approved BVLOS and OOP operations allow the aircraft to be used in realistic, force‑on‑force training scenarios for multinational units rotating through the readiness center.
The contract represents a significant milestone for EagleNXT, adding a new U.S. Army customer to its defense portfolio. The company has previously supplied drones to the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit and the French Army, and has expanded its global reach with distributors in Egypt and Chile. However, EagleNXT remains in a challenging financial position, reporting net losses of $26.66 million in 2024 and $41.48 million in 2023, with a trailing‑12‑month net loss of $20.26 million as of June 30 2025. The company has a debt burden and has received a NYSE non‑compliance notice and an auditor’s “going concern” warning.
The sale underscores the growing demand for advanced UAS solutions in defense training and operations. EagleNXT’s FAA approvals and inclusion on the DoD Blue UAS list position it to pursue additional U.S. Army and NATO contracts. The company’s focus on GPS‑denied capabilities and rapid deployment aligns with the Army’s emphasis on realistic training scenarios.
EagleNXT operates in three segments—Drones and Custom Manufacturing, Sensors, and Software‑as‑a‑Service. The defense segment accounts for a growing share of revenue, but overall revenue has dipped despite increased drone sales in Q1 2025. Management has highlighted the need to balance investment in product development with cost control to improve margins.
