AgEagle Aerial Systems Receives Green UAS Certification Validating its Drone Technologies to Serve the Commercial and Non-Defense Drone Market

Green UAS certification assesses and verifies commercial drones meet the highest levels of cybersecurity and NDAA supply chain requirements

WICHITA, Kan. – AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS) a leading provider of best-in-class unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, announces it has been granted Green UAS certification from the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of uncrewed systems, autonomy, and robotics.

Green UAS is an expanded framework for certification built off the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)’s Blue UAS certification program but designed for non-defense and commercial companies looking to verify their compliance with cybersecurity and supply chain standards.

Green UAS cybersecurity and supply chain risk assessments are held to the same standard as those in Blue UAS but also are expanded upon in the Green UAS program. The certification validates commercial small UAS as cyber-secure and will provide a wider variety of secure UAS than the current Blue 2.0 list to conduct mission sets.

AgEagle President Bill Irby commented, “AgEagle has demonstrated another step in it’s commitment to cyber-security and NDAA compliance through achieving this certification.  We are moving forward with our Defense and Public Safety strategy, enhancing value to our buying customer and shareholders.”

AUVSI administers the assessment and certification process in collaboration with external partners and is designed to achieve two goals:

  • To support the DoD community by supporting efforts to expand DIU’s Blue UAS with vetted drones that meet the same level of cyber security and supply chain requirements as mandated by Congress in the 2020 and 2022 NDAAs.
  • To provide a commercial and non-DoD government pathway to ensure trust in drone security, using robust frameworks and additional areas of assessment not included in Blue UAS, and framework flexibility based on customer demands.

Green UAS compliant components also have the opportunity to opt-in to data sharing with the DIU through AUVSI for a seamless review and consideration for addition to the Blue UAS Framework list.
