CiTech specialises in digital architectures, sensor ecosystems, data
platforms, decision-support systems, and resilient mission
environments, forming the technological backbone of the
partnership.

Draganfly Inc.

Draganfly is an award-winning developer of unmanned
aerial systems (UAS) and sensor-driven data solutions. Its recent
military sale of Commander 3XL unmanned systems into the Asia-Pacific
region validates the operational maturity of its platforms and
reinforces its role in frontline mission support. Draganfly’s
NDAA-compliant and NATO-supportive systems support military,
public-safety, and disaster-response operations.

Strengthening Regional Defence Modernisation

Together, the three companies form a comprehensive
capability stack spanning:

• Mission-critical defence engineering, sustainment, and
  fleet support (Babcock) 
  

  
  

• High-assurance digital integration, sensor networks,
  and resilient mission systems (CiTech)

The parties will now begin evaluating targeted
opportunities and joint-program concepts tailored to defence and
security needs across the region.
