Allen, Texas: EagleNXT, provider of full-stack drone, sensor, and software solutions for defense, government, and commercial applications, has announced the sale of two eBee VISION Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) unmanned aircraft systems and three eBee TAC tactical mapping drones to an undisclosed customer in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region.
The latest order marks another milestone in EagleNXT’s growing international expansion and highlights increasing global demand for lightweight, rapidly deployable, and cyber-secure unmanned aircraft systems designed for mission-critical operations.
According to the company, the combined deployment of eBee VISION and eBee TAC platforms will provide the Asia Pacific customer with advanced capabilities in intelligence gathering, tactical mapping, and operational readiness across dynamic and challenging environments.
The order is expected to support a broad range of defense and security operations by enabling real-time situational awareness, high-performance mapping, and enhanced decision-making capabilities in the field.
Key System Capabilities
The order includes two units of the eBee VISION system, a portable, backpack-compatible ISR drone designed to deliver real-time high-definition video and thermal imagery, particularly in rapidly evolving or GNSS-denied environments.
The hand-launched system can be operated by a single pilot and provides live situational awareness, target tracking, and secure data transmission for intelligence and reconnaissance missions.
The eBee VISION platform is also Blue UAS-cleared and NDAA-compliant, meeting stringent security standards required for sensitive defense operations.
Additionally, the customer will receive three eBee TAC tactical mapping drones. The rugged tactical UAV is optimized for field operations, surveillance missions, and disconnected environments.
Deployable by a single operator in under three minutes, the platform offers up to 90 minutes of flight endurance and supports advanced 3D and thermal mapping capabilities.
The eBee TAC system incorporates military-grade features, including cyber-secure encryption and compatibility with the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), making it suitable for demanding operational scenarios.
Commenting on the development, Bill Irby, CEO of EagleNXT, said, “EagleNXT is proud to support our Asia Pacific partners with proven, battle-tested drone technology that enhances operational effectiveness and decision-making in critical missions.
The eBee VISION and eBee TAC platforms combine portability, reliability, and advanced capabilities to deliver immediate value in contested or remote environments.”
The company noted that this latest order further demonstrates EagleNXT’s commitment to delivering NDAA-compliant, U.S.-manufactured unmanned systems that satisfy the rigorous operational requirements of allied nations.
The systems are developed with a strong emphasis on supply-chain security and remain eligible for multiple government procurement programs.
