EagleNXT Participates in Michigan NADWC DDIL Testing Environment Supporting Army Permissive Range Initiative
EagleNXT’s newly developed anti-jamming technology performs strongly in contested DDIL environment and advances toward production readiness
ALLEN, Texas, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (dba, EagleNXT) (the “Company” or “EagleNXT”) (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of full-stack drone, counter-UAS, and specialty sensor system solutions for defense, government, and commercial applications worldwide, today announced its participation in a Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent and Limited (DDIL) testing environment hosted at Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center, part of Michigan’s National All-Domain Warfighting Center (NADWC), from September 13-18, 2026, where the Company’s newly developed anti-jamming technology performed strongly in realistic contested conditions and continued to demonstrate readiness for a near-term transition toward production.
The event, hosted by the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs in coordination with Army Test and Evaluation Command and the Threat System Management Office, is aligned with the U.S. Army’s Permissive Range Initiative, which is intended to expand opportunities for industry and military organizations to rapidly test and evaluate emerging technologies in realistic operational environments.
During the testing event, participating organizations evaluated systems in communications, positioning, navigation, timing, and radio-frequency environments designed to replicate contested battlefield conditions. EagleNXT used the event to exercise its eBee VISION UAS equipped with advanced anti-jamming capability in demanding DDIL conditions, and the Company observed strong performance that reinforced confidence in the maturity of the technology and its path toward production availability.
“Testing in DDIL environments is essential to proving that unmanned systems can operate when traditional communications and navigation sources are degraded or denied,” said Bill Irby, Chief Executive Officer of EagleNXT. “The event provided an important opportunity to exercise our eBee VISION featuring newly developed anti-jamming technology in a realistic contested environment, and we were pleased with how well the capability performed. The technology is progressing well through final readiness steps and we expect to begin production later this year. Participating in the NADWC event gave EagleNXT the opportunity to demonstrate and refine capabilities in the types of realistic, multi-domain conditions that defense customers increasingly require. Events like this accelerate innovation, strengthen operational readiness, and support our long-term positioning in the defense and government UAS market.”
Camp Grayling’s expansive training areas, varied terrain, electromagnetic spectrum access, and multi-domain capabilities provide a realistic environment for evaluating emerging technologies before they are fielded. The NADWC includes nearly 148,000 acres of maneuver space at Camp Grayling and more than 17,000 square miles of special-use military airspace at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, supporting training and testing across land, air, maritime, space, and cyber domains.
The Army’s Permissive Range Initiative and related experimentation programs are designed to help industry partners identify capability gaps, validate new technologies, and move emerging systems from development and prototyping toward operational use. EagleNXT’s participation reflects the Company’s ongoing focus on providing resilient unmanned systems, sensors, anti-jamming technology, and software-enabled solutions for defense and government customers operating in complex environments.
