EagleNXT Secures $10M+ U.S. Army Deal for Nine eBee VISION ISR Drones
Event summary
- EagleNXT sold nine eBee VISION ISR UAS kits to the U.S. Army's National Training Center at Fort Irwin for an estimated $10M+.
- The eBee VISION is a portable, backpack-carried fixed-wing drone weighing 4.1 lbs with a 46.4-inch wingspan.
- This follows a prior sale of two units to the Joint Mission Readiness Center earlier in 2026.
- The drones will enhance opposition force realism and counter-UAS training at Fort Irwin.
The big picture
This deal underscores the growing importance of small, portable ISR drones in modern military training, particularly as adversaries increasingly deploy similar systems. EagleNXT's inclusion on the Blue UAS list and its ability to deliver NDAA-compliant solutions position it well for further defense sector growth. The $10M+ contract represents a strategic win in a market where drone dominance and counter-UAS readiness are top priorities.
