(NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) (FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions and systems developer, is pleased to announce the launch of its new North American-made Long Range Light Detection and Ranging (“LiDAR”) system.
Draganfly’s Long Range LiDAR system is able to provide accurate distance measurements and improved resolution over conventional photogrammetry methods.

The Company’s cutting-edge sensor technology can be used for multiple applications, including mapping and surveying forests, cities, real estate, energy infrastructure, and telecommunications infrastructure, to name but a few customer-driven use cases.
According to a recent report by Fortune Business Insights, the global LiDAR drone market is projected to reach $455 million USD in 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of nearly 18%. The advancement of dynamic sensor technologies continues to broaden the product range and is making UAV-based LiDAR more appealing across a variety of major markets.
