AgEagle Aerial Systems Secures Additional Sale of eBee VISION Drones to the British Antarctic Survey
World leader in polar science and polar operations research to use additional drones to enhance its Antarctic conservation, research, and wildlife preservation efforts
WICHITA, Kan., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of best-in-class unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and sensors for military, public safety, and commercial use, has sold two additional eBee VISION drones to the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), a world leader in polar science and polar operations.
The BAS is part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), an organization which supports the UK’s research activity in polar regions. NERC personnel conducting field work in some of the most extreme environments in the world will continue to rely on AgEagle drones to execute their research missions.
“The eBee VISION plays a vital role in the British Antarctic Survey’s important conservation work,” said Bill Irby, AgEagle CEO. “The robust eBee VISION performs well in extreme polar conditions, performing in intense cold and high winds. The UAS can fly for 90 minutes, has a range of 12 miles (20 km) and is manufactured to be simple to maintain in the field. This is vital when operating in some of the most challenging conditions in the world.”
The British Antarctic Survey operates two eBee VISION drones and three eBee X drones, used in gathering high resolution imagery to detect and track wildlife and monitor population numbers. The units also conduct repeat flights over glaciers to identify and track changes through the passage of time. The systems can also be used to support transportation needs on land and sea, with shifting weather conditions and varying ice states.
The AgEagle eBee drones are supplied to the BAS by KOREC Group, a trusted provider of mapping, surveying, and drone solutions, and the official distributor for AgEagle in the UK and Ireland.
