Australia-based unmanned systems specialist to serve regional customers in Asia Pacific region for sales and support of EagleNXT senseFly™ drones
WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (dba, EagleNXT) (the “Company” or “EagleNXT”) (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of advanced drone and aerial imaging solutions, today announced the signing of a Master Distributor Agreement with Falcon UAV, an Australia-based unmanned autonomous systems specialist and a provider of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) solutions.
Under the agreement, Falcon UAV is appointed as a non-exclusive Master Distributor for the complete range of EagleNXT senseFly™ drones throughout the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Falcon UAV will oversee regional distribution, channel partners, and customer engagement for EagleNXT’s fixed-wing unmanned systems across commercial, government, and defense-adjacent APAC markets.
In this strategic role, Falcon UAV will lead EagleNXT channel development and customer support in APAC by:
- Identifying and recommending qualified new distributors for appointments as EagleNXT senseFly Affiliate Distributors
- Provide EagleNXT senseFly sales support, technical guidance, demonstrations, forecasting, and ongoing performance monitoring to all appointed Affiliate Distributors
- Attaining senseFly Certified Training Center and Level 2 Certified Repair Center status, and delivering in-depth operator training and authorized repair services for senseFly products purchased throughout the region
EagleNXT will support Falcon UAV with marketing funds, co-exhibition at regional events, product demonstration units, and technical resources to ensure rapid and successful market expansion.
“This Master Distributor Agreement with Falcon UAV is a major step forward in scaling the availability and support of EagleNXT senseFly drones across the vast Asia-Pacific region,” said Bill Irby, CEO of EagleNXT. “Falcon UAV’s extensive regional presence, proven technical expertise, and strong customer relationships make them the perfect partner to accelerate adoption of senseFly’s industry-leading fixed-wing solutions in surveying, agriculture, mining, construction, ISR, and geographic information system (GIS) applications.”
”This is just the latest chapter in the long history between our companies,” said Luke Weekley, CEO of Falcon UAV. “The collaboration has grown from agricultural surveying for farmers and ranchers, branched into commercial business, and continues into Defense and ISR mission sets. We are excited for our energized partnership to expand our cooperative reach into the region and raise the bar for serving our expanding Asia-Pacific customer base.”
The APAC drone market is one of the fastest-expanding globally, valued at approximately USD 12.88 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 26.1 billion by 2030, growing at a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.17% (Mordor Intelligence). The commercial segment alone is expected to nearly double from around USD 10-12 billion in 2025 to more than nearly USD 20 billion by 2030, driven by a 13.3% CAGR according to Grand View Research.
The EagleNXT’s senseFly fixed-wing drones are well-suited to APAC’s key industries, where large-area coverage, endurance, and high precision mapping provide significant advantages over multi-rotor alternatives. This partnership positions EagleNXT to capture a meaningful share of this high growth opportunity through localized expertise and robust support networks.
- Agriculture — APAC’s vast farmlands benefit immensely from precision agriculture tools for crop monitoring, irrigation optimization, and yield forecasting
- Mining — The region’s booming mining sector relies on drones for stockpile volumetrics, site surveying, and safety inspections over expansive open-pit operations.
- Surveying, Construction, and GIS — Rapid infrastructure development and urbanization demand efficient topographic mapping and progress monitoring
- Emerging Defense and ISR Applications — Countries in the region continue to fund and develop UAS capabilities, as the region’s defense posture adapts to advancements in platform’s ISR capabilities
