eBee TAC
senseFlyThe eBee TAC is a fixed-wing tactical UAS developed by senseFly (an AgEagle/EagleNXT company), designed for defense and public safety mapping missions. It weighs approximately 3.5 lbs with a 45.7-inch wingspan, offers up to 90 minutes of flight time and a 34-mile range, and achieves 0.6-inch absolute accuracy without ground control points. It is NDAA-compliant, listed on the DIU Blue UAS Cleared List (the first drone added under Blue sUAS 2.0), and features AES-256 encryption and other tactical security features. The system is designed for single-operator deployment in 3–10 minutes and executes autonomous pre-planned mapping missions; several facts in the extracted set appear to pertain to Red Cat Holdings/Teal Drones rather than the eBee TAC and have been treated accordingly.

Evidence-graded claims from the senseFly deep report
The eBee drones can cover up to 500 acres per flight at 400 ft altitude.
A Tennessee State University academic document [3] — an independent educational source — cites the 500-acre/400 ft figure, though it likely draws from vendor spec sheets and does not constitute an independent field validation.
from senseFly deep report →AgEagle Aerial Systems acquired senseFly from Parrot Group on October 18, 2021 for US$23 million in cash and stock.
Yahoo Finance [8] and Startupticker [12] — independent news sources — both report the acquisition price and date with direct quotes from the announcement, providing credible third-party corroboration.
from senseFly deep report →
eBee drones execute aerial mapping missions fully autonomously — the operator plans and launches, but the drone flies the route, captures imagery, and returns without human control mid-flight.
The autonomy claim originates from senseFly/AgEagle marketing copy and the dossier's own reconciled verdict [1][2]; no independent third-party test or regulator report in the dossier specifically validates mid-flight autonomy without human override capability.
from senseFly deep report →The eMotion software supports BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) automated flight control operations.
BVLOS capability is stated only in official senseFly marketing copy [1][2]; no independent regulatory approval, third-party field report, or customer verification of operational BVLOS flights appears in the dossier.
from senseFly deep report →senseFly's eBee SQ is priced at approximately $10,990 at base configuration, with high-end/tactical variants exceeding $70,000.
The $10,990 figure appears in an academic/commerce document [3][4], but pricing for the high-end variants (>$70,000) is sourced from commercial review sites without independent buyer confirmation or official price list verification.
from senseFly deep report →
Maximum flight time is up to 90 minutes (per drone pilot ground school source), but an independent academic source cites only 55 minutes for the eBee SQ specifically.
The 90-minute figure comes from a commercial review site [4] rather than an independent test; the academic source [3] cites 55 minutes for the eBee SQ, and neither source independently validates the higher figure through controlled measurement — the 90-minute claim is likely model-specific marketing for a higher-end variant and is unverified.
from senseFly deep report →senseFly's eBee drones are deployed at scale across defense, agriculture, construction, energy, and public safety sectors.
Deployment sectors are listed only in official senseFly/AgEagle marketing and the acquisition announcement [1][2][8]; the dossier contains no independent customer case studies, fleet counts, or third-party reports confirming scaled real-world deployment across these verticals.
