TAMPA, FL, Feb 6, 2026 – Draganfly has won an award to supply Flex FPV drones and training to U.S. Air Force special operations command units. The effort runs with partner DelMar Aerospace Corporation, which will deliver UAS instruction to government operators. Training starts with First Person View (FPV) assembly, repair, and flight operations, then moves into advanced mission planning and execution.
U.S. Air Force special operations command units will receive foundational FPV training built around Draganfly Flex FPV drones under a new award. DelMar Aerospace will run the program and deliver instruction at its Camp Pendleton UAS range training facility. The range is designed to support advanced training that mirrors a range of battlefield scenarios. Training begins with the first cohort in mid-February, with DelMar handling curriculum development and standards alignment under U.S. Government contracting and security rules.
Draganfly says Flex FPV uses a modular design for small UAS configurations and can support changes in Department of War operational requirements. One airframe can switch between mission profiles, supporting different flight characteristics and payload capacities on a single unit. Draganfly says a common baseline could simplify training and sustainment across users. The company positions the approach for use in tactical drone programs.
“Our shared focus is on readiness and combat capability,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly. “Partnering with DelMar Aerospace helps ensure operators are training on systems and tactics designed for real-world conditions, with the Flex’s modularity and reliability required to adapt as missions and threats evolve.”
“This collaboration is about developing operators who are prepared to employ uncrewed systems effectively in demanding environments,” said Stanley Springer, DelMar Aerospace’s chief operating officer. “Our focus is disciplined training grounded in combat-proven TTPs and operational realism.”
