Description of Business | Note 1 – Description of Business AgEagle™ Aerial Systems Inc. (“AgEagle” or the “Company” or “we”, “our”, or “us”) is actively engaged in designing and delivering best-in-class drones, sensors and software that solve important problems for our customers. Founded in 2010, AgEagle was originally formed to pioneer proprietary, professional-grade, fixed-winged drones and aerial imagery-based data collection and analytics solutions for the agriculture industry. Today, the Company is earning distinction as a globally respected market leader offering customer-centric, advanced, autonomous unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”) which drive revenue at the intersection of flight hardware, sensors and software for industries that include agriculture, military/defense, public safety, surveying/mapping and utilities/engineering, among others. AgEagle has also achieved numerous regulatory firsts, earning governmental approvals for its commercial and tactical drones to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (“BVLOS”) and/or Operations Over People (“OOP”) in the United States, Canada, Brazil and the European Union and being awarded Blue UAS certification from the Defense Innovation Unit of the U.S. Department of Defense. AgEagle’s shift and expansion from solely manufacturing fixed-wing farm drones in 2018, to offering what the Company believes is one of the industry’s best fixed-wing, full-stack drone solutions, culminated in 2021 when the Company acquired three market-leading companies engaged in producing UAS airframes, sensors and software for commercial and government use. In addition to a robust portfolio of proprietary, connected hardware and software products; an established global network of over 200 UAS resellers; and enterprise customers worldwide; these acquisitions also brought AgEagle a highly valuable workforce comprised largely of experienced engineers and technologists with deep expertise in the fields of robotics, automation, manufacturing, and data science. In 2022, the Company succeeded in integrating all three acquired companies with AgEagle to form one global company focused on taking autonomous flight performance to a higher level. Our core technological capabilities include robotics and robotics systems autonomy; advanced thermal and multispectral sensor design and development; embedded software and firmware; secure wireless digital communications and networks; lightweight airframes; small UAS design, integration and operations; power electronics and propulsion systems; controls and systems integration; fixed wing flight; flight management software; data capture and analytics; human-machine interface development and integrated mission solutions. In January 2021, AgEagle acquired MicaSense™, Inc. (“MicaSense”). Founded in 2014, MicaSense has been at the forefront of advanced drone sensor development since its founding in 2014, having formed integration partnerships with several leading fixed wing and multi-rotor drone manufacturers. MicaSense’s patented, high precision thermal and multispectral sensors serve the aerial mapping and analytics needs of the agriculture market. MicaSense’s high performance proprietary products have global distribution in over 75 countries. In April 2021, AgEagle acquired Measure Global, Inc. (“Measure”). Founded in 2020, Measure serves a world class customer base, Measure enables its customers to realize the transformative benefits of drone technology through its Ground Control solution. Offered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), Ground Control is a cloud-based, plug-and-play operating system that empowers pilots and large enterprises with everything they need to operate drone fleets, fly autonomously, collaborate globally, visualize data, and integrate with existing business systems and processes. In October 2021, AgEagle acquired senseFly S.A. and concurrent with the acquisition, AgEagle Aerial, Inc. (“AgEagle Aerial), a wholly owned subsidiary of the AgEagle, acquired senseFly Inc. Collectively senseFly S.A. and senseFly, Inc. are referred to as “senseFly”. Founded in 2009, senseFly provides fixed-wing drone solutions for commercial and government markets that simplify the collection and analysis of geospatial data, allowing professionals to make better decisions, faster. senseFly develops and produces a proprietary line of eBee-branded, high performance, fixed-wing drones which have flown more than one million flights around the world. AGEAGLE AERIAL SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022 Note 1 – Description of Business – Continued Collectively, MicaSense, Measure and senseFly are referred to as the “2021 Acquired Companies.” The Company is currently headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, where we house our sensor manufacturing operations, and we operate business and drone manufacturing operations in Raleigh, North Carolina. In addition, the Company operates business and manufacturing operations in Lausanne, Switzerland, in support of our international business activities. The Company intends to grow our business and preserve our leadership position by developing new drones, sensors and software and capturing a significant share of the global drone market.
